Cloud Compute 2 framework FAQs

The Cloud Compute 2 framework is the second iteration of the recent G-Cloud adjacent route to market. Here's the scoop.

Cloud Compute 2 framework

With G-Cloud 13 applications wrapping up, Crown Commercial Service are readying the Cloud Compute 2 framework (RM6292). Cloud Compute came on to the scene in early 2021 to run alongside the G-Cloud framework.

With G-Cloud’s three Lots at the time encompassing Cloud Hosting, Cloud Software, and Cloud Support, CCS wanted a fresh new route to market for solid IaaS and PaaS. In honesty, this was rather confusing given G-Cloud’s scope too – there was a lot of crossover. However, with Cloud Compute 2, CCS have begun to tweak the framework. Cloud Compute 2 seems to be moving to a route to market for not just the big cloud giants out there, but also wider providers.

What is in scope for Cloud Compute 2?

As we said, the Cloud Compute 2 framework is set to be for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). This carries on from the first iteration.

However, the new framework looks to be adding wider scope. With the addition of suppliers who can provide value-added services and professional services for IaaS and PaaS. This may be an attempt to make sure that Cloud Compute 2 doesn’t just feature the big providers and can include smaller suppliers in the mix.

The framework will be capped, as was the first iteration. We’ll find out how this will work when we get more information when the open date approaches.

When does the Cloud Compute 2 framework open?

The framework is set to open for supplier applications in August 2022, as outlined by CCS. With a go-Live date pencilled in for May 2023, it’s set to replace Cloud Compute (RM6111) which closes its doors around then.

This is all still to be confirmed by CCS, but we’re definitely expecting it to open this summer. We’ll keep you posted for specific dates when we know them!

What should suppliers do now?

Get everything in order! Frameworks now include a fair bit more than they use to. Big applications like this may need more social value responses and most likely will be weighted in the scoring for such info. Make sure you’ve got social value measures in place before applying, as it may take you a bit more time when left to the last minute.

Make sure you’ve got the resources and people on board. If you’re applying for Cloud Compute 2, you may have just applied for G-Cloud 13 – and be considering Vertical Application Solutions too. That’s a lot of VERY valuable routes to market to apply for this year. Do you have enough time and people to commit? Are you able to put the effort in to be awarded a place? Remember, these frameworks are competitive and capped.

If you don’t have the time, maybe consider outside help. Procurement and framework experts such as ourselves help suppliers with their applications and make sure they get listed compliantly and successfully. It’s worth thinking about.

Lastly, keep up to date. Don’t miss out on these upcoming frameworks like Cloud Compute 2. If it’s relevant to your service or product, you should get listed and fit it into your sales and marketing strategies.
