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!
G-Cloud 10
Now in its 10th iteration, G-Cloud has since its inception in 2012 generated sales of over £3.1bn sold with 48% 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!
The framework is an outstanding success story of Public Sector procurement policy in action. It’s also Advice Cloud’s personal success story: our clients are winning some serious contracts.
As buyers ourselves, we know the process well. Listed since 2013, we have so far bought over £50m+ worth of services through the Digital Marketplace.
