How well do you know G-Cloud?

G-Cloud has been up and running for 3 months, but how well do you really know the framework?

Here’s some fun facts about G-Cloud:

• G-Cloud has since its inception in 2012 generated sales of over £3.5bn sold with 46% of this awarded to SMEs!
• The framework has 3 Lots and these are unrestricted which means there is no cap on how many suppliers can list on the framework.
• G-Cloud has the functionality for direct award – this means if a buyer searches for a product or service and only you appear they can award you the contract right away!
• All the spend data is public and you can see who has been buying – check this out on our groovy spend dashboard.
• One of the biggest misconceptions of the framework is that buyers can just buy the first result in the search. The search function on G-Cloud is actually randomised so there is no dark art of getting to the top of the pile.
• G-Cloud uses Boolean Operators which allows buyers to refine their search and get better, more specific search results, good right!
