UK GCA relaunches G-Cloud 15 framework

Government Commercial Agency has announced the relaunch of G-Cloud 15, a new public sector cloud procurement framework in the UK.

• The framework consolidates Cloud Compute 2 and Lots 1-3 and 4 of G-Cloud 14 into a single agreement, and will open for public sector use later this month under the Procurement Act 2023 and an open framework format.
• It is valued at approximately £14 billion over 4 years, with around £3 billion in annual public sector cloud spend expected to flow through it; call-off contracts can run for up to 60 months.
• The framework includes an 18-month re-opening window for new and growing suppliers and the most comprehensive supplier evaluation to date across quality, technical capability, and price.
• G-Cloud 14 remains operational until 28 October 2026, when all call-off contracts must be signed.
