G-Cloud Spend Data
Who is using the G-Cloud framework?
G-Cloud is the Government Framework designed for suppliers to sell cloud technology to the public sector. Since it launched, government departments, NHS trusts, local authorities and police forces have spent tens of billions through the framework.
The dashboard on this page shows you exactly which buyers are spending and with which suppliers. The figures below give you the headline position, and then the dashboard is where you find spend by supplier, by buyer, by lot, by sector and by month.

Frequently asked questions about G-Cloud spend data
How much has been spent through G-Cloud in total?
What's the difference between G-Cloud 1-8 and G-Cloud 9 onwards in this data?
How can I find out who my competitors are selling to on G-Cloud?
What do these figures count?
They count sales reported through G-Cloud and published by GCA in its monthly sales data. We have combined the G-Cloud 1 to 8 spend data with everything from G-Cloud 9 onwards, so that searching and finding information stays consistent across the whole series instead of breaking at each new iteration of the framework.
The dimensions in the dashboard mean the following here.
- Supplier. The company that sold the service. Filter by Supplier to see what a named company has recorded through G-Cloud.
- Buyer. The public sector organisation that bought it. The dashboard labels this dimension Customer, and it also groups buying organisations by sector and by size.
- Lot. The category of service the sale sat in. The dashboard groups lots as Cloud Hosting, Cloud Software, Cloud Support, Lot 4 and the AWS One Government Value Agreement. Those groupings run across the whole series from 2012, so they are broader than the 5 lots G-Cloud 15 uses. For the current lot structure, read our Ultimate Guide to G-Cloud.
- Reporting period. The dashboard filters by Month and by Year of Reporting period, so you can hold a period steady while you compare suppliers, buyers or lots.
What can suppliers do with this data?
2 things, and they are what the data does best.
- See what your competitors are selling. Filter by Supplier to see what a named company has recorded through G-Cloud, in which lots and to which buyers.
- Find your public sector prospects. Filter by Customer or by sector, then use the organisation size view, to see who is buying in your category and how that has moved over time.
The dashboard breaks buying down 3 ways: by sector, by named customer and by size of organisation. So start with the sector view to see where your category sells, and then move to the customer view to name the organisations behind it. If you want the framework mechanics instead, such as how buyers award and what a call-off contract commits you to, read our Ultimate Guide to G-Cloud.
If you want help turning that into a target list and a pipeline, then that is where our framework sales and pipeline work starts.

What is the difference between this page and the Ultimate Guide to G-Cloud?
This page is the data: how much the public sector bought, from which suppliers and when. The Ultimate Guide to G-Cloud is the framework itself. It covers the lots, the application process, how buyers award and what a call-off contract commits you to. If you want the numbers, stay here. If you want the rules, start there.
