G-Cloud Spend Data

Why is looking at the spend data important?

Who is using the G-Cloud framework?

Buyers right across the UK public sector, and the dashboard on this page shows you exactly which ones. It holds the detail behind the headline figures below: spend by supplier, by buyer, by lot, by sector and by month. So the figures below give you the headline position, and then the dashboard is where you find your own.

 

What are the headline G-Cloud spend figures?

3 figures set the scene. All 3 come from our G-Cloud spend data tool, the dashboard on this page, which is built on the sales data the Government Commercial Agency (GCA), formerly the Crown Commercial Service (CCS), publishes each month.

  • £25.5 billion: total G-Cloud spend since the framework launched in 2012. This is the dashboard’s Total Spend with no filters set. It includes spend under the AWS One Government Value Agreement, which the dashboard counts as one of its lot groupings.
  • £3.25 billion: G-Cloud spend in the 2025/26 financial year. That is April 2025 to March 2026, on the same basis.
  • To the end of September 2026: the period the data covers. September 2026 is the latest month in the data. Each month’s figures usually arrive around the 10th to 15th of the following month.

For any other figure, such as one supplier’s sales, one buyer’s spend or a single year, see the dashboard. Figures on this page are as at 20th October 2026.

 

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.

 

How do I use the G-Cloud spend data tool?

The dashboard below is interactive, and 3 steps will get you to an answer.

 

Set the filters that matter to you

6 filters control what the dashboard shows: Sector, Supplier, Customer, Month, Year of Reporting period and Lot Description. Start with the ones that match the question you came with.

 

Pick the view that answers your question

The views run across spend trend, sector, suppliers, customers, lot type and organisation size. So you can approach the same data from whichever direction suits your question.

G-Cloud Spend Data

 

G-Cloud spend data: frequently asked questions

 

How current is the G-Cloud spend data?

The data runs from 2012 to the end of September 2026, which is the latest reporting month in it. Each month’s figures usually arrive around the 10th to 15th of the following month. At Advice Cloud, we maintain the dashboard against the monthly sales data GCA publishes, and we update the headline figures on this page when the dashboard changes. The figures on this page were last checked on 20th October 2026.

 

Where does the G-Cloud spend data come from?

From the sales data the Government Commercial Agency (GCA), formerly the Crown Commercial Service (CCS), publishes each month. At Advice Cloud, we combine the G-Cloud 1 to 8 data with everything from G-Cloud 9 onwards. That keeps the series consistent across the whole framework history. We then present it as the searchable dashboard on this page.

 

Does the spend data cover every G-Cloud iteration?

It covers every iteration from G-Cloud 1, launched in 2012, through to the latest reporting month in the data, which is September 2026 as at 20th October 2026. Because the series spans the framework’s earlier iterations, the dashboard groups lots into broad categories. It does not use the lot names of any single iteration.

 

Can I see G-Cloud spend for one supplier or one buyer?

Yes. The dashboard has a Supplier filter for a named company, and a Customer filter for a named public sector organisation. It also has filters for sector, lot and reporting period.

 

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.
