Our G-Cloud Success
With another round of G-Cloud applications out of the way, Frameworker is delighted to report a 100% success rate 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 to identify suppliers in the market that can deliver 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. Suppliers will be listed with profile pages relating to each service that they offer. This will include a description of the offering, pricing and any specific terms and conditions that will apply.
As of 1st July 2019 the framework is now live and can be found here: https://www.digitalmarketplace.service.gov.uk/buyers/direct-award/g-cloud/start.
Celebrating Success
This year Frameworker managed to support clients and secure 10 successful G-Cloud applications.
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.
