The procurement is currently open, using an open procedure method, with a projected value of £1.95 billion. This phase of the tender process will conclude on 15th May 2019, while contracts are set to commence on 5th August 2019 and can last for a maximum of 24 months, with two possible twelve-month extensions. The industry category for this procurement is software packages and information systems. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses that provide cloud computing services. Companies, particularly SMEs, that specialise in software development, cloud hosting, or IT support will find this tender particularly relevant. As the G-Cloud framework is refreshed regularly to include new suppliers, participating can lead to long-term contracts with public sector clients, historically offering a reliable revenue stream. ## Notice Crown Commercial Service as the Contracting Authority is putting in place a Framework Agreement for use by UK public sector bodies identified at VI.3 (and any future successors to these organisations), which include Central Government Departments and their Arm's Length Bodies and Agencies, Non Departmental Public Bodies, NHS bodies and Local Authorities. The above Public Sector Bodies have a need for a compliant Procurement Vehicle to access Cloud Computing Services. The maximum initial duration of any Call-Off Contract that may be placed by an eligible Contracting Body is 24 months with two extensions allowed, each of up to 12 months. G-Cloud services, available via the Digital Marketplace, will require frequent procurement refreshes to bring on new suppliers and services. New iterations of this Framework are being considered at a frequency of 12 months depending on demand and/or availability of new services as the IT Cloud market develops.
