Sell your cloud-based services
G-Cloud is THE place for suppliers looking to sell their cloud based solutions and services to government. … and we can help you make it a success!
The G-Cloud Framework
Currently in its 12th iteration, G-Cloud has since its inception in 2012 generated sales of over £8.6bn sold – with 39% of this awarded to SMEs! These numbers will only rise during the next iterations, as more and more government bodies buy through the framework.
If you have a Cloud based service and you wish to sell to government get listed on the G-Cloud framework. G-Cloud is THE place to go… We can help you get there and once you are there we can help you win business!
G-Cloud 13 (the next iteration) is currently expected in September 2022 – due to G-Cloud 12 being extended by one year.
