G-Cloud 11

Notice Description

Crown Commercial Service has implemented a Framework Agreement for UK public sector bodies identified at VI.3 (and any future successors to these organisations) which include Central Government Departments, their Arm's Length Bodies and Agencies, Non-Departmental Public Bodies, NHS bodies and Local Authorities, who need a compliant procurement vehicle to access cloud computing services. The maximum initial duration of a call-off contract is 2 years with 2 extensions allowed each of up to 1 year. G-Cloud procurement refreshes are considered annually to allow for new suppliers and services. Applicants must respond to this procurement via the Digital Marketplace. To register and see details of the steps applicants must take to offer services on the Digital Marketplace go to https://www.gov.uk/guidance/g-cloud-suppliersguide#how-to-apply In Section IV.1.3) the maximum number of participants is 999, the highest allowable on the eNotice but the envisaged number of suppliers is unlimited. All successful suppliers are listed in the attachment area Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, Crown Commercial Service (CCS) believes that the first condition set out in Regulation 72(1)(c) Public Contracts Regulations 2015 has been fulfilled in respect of the Framework Agreement. Crown Commercial Service has taken the decision to extend existing framework agreements that were due for reprocurement for a period of up to nine months (9monsth) for Gcloud 11. This is to enable CCS resources to be diverted to procuring urgent requirements to deal with COVID-19 consequences and to relieve pressure on the supply chain while short staffed, to enable businesses to continue to deliver services and goods to customers. CCS intends to deliver replacement framework agreements as quickly as possible after the initial COVID-19 impact.
