G-Cloud 13 Results - 2022
Having extended the G-Cloud 12 framework due to Covid, 2021 gave us a break from the usual, annual G-Cloud application season. However, in spring of this year (2022), the Crown Commercial Services (CCS) launched applications for the next iteration of the framework, G-Cloud 13.
Despite some further delays to the launch of this new G-Cloud 13 framework, applications have been scored, and we at Frameworker are delighted to report another year of 100% success on behalf of our clients.
WHAT IS THE G-CLOUD?
The G-Cloud is a framework set up by the government’s Crown Commercial Services (CCS) to identify suppliers of technology, software, and IT services in the market covering all things cloud related. Its purpose is to provide buyers, like local councils, NHS trusts, universities etc, with quick and easy access to a qualified supplier list. The CCS have run this framework for a number of years, and the latest iteration, G-Cloud 13 will be going live around the 27th November 2022.
Suppliers will be listed on the framework with profile pages relating to each service or product that they offer. This will include a description of the offering, pricing and any specific terms and conditions that will apply.
We’ve created a short video explaining what the G-cloud framework is and how it works.
CELEBRATING SUCCESS
Yet another year of surpassing our own expectations and previous year performances. This year Frameworker successfully secured 15 G-Cloud positions, beating 12 in 2020 and 10 in 2019. Applications covered a number of different software offerings as well as cloud-based consultancy services and we were able to help provide clients with bid writing support, training and guidance throughout the process.
For suppliers within the information technology industry, the G-Cloud is an essential framework to be a part of. Buyers often consult the G-Cloud as one of their first ports of call when looking for suppliers within this area of the cosmos. If you’re not on it, your company might be overlooked.
Having a profile within this framework ensures that our clients will appear in searches conducted by public sector buyers. Our services involved designing bespoke profile page content, using specific and unique terminology to help meet all of the typical keyword search terms that might be used by buyers, whilst providing identifiable and distinguishable terminology to help isolate their profiles and improve their chances of being the sole qualifying supplier. This has the benefit of buyers being able to compliantly directly award a contract to our clients, without the need for further information or competition.
