On 3rd July 2018, the G-Cloud 10 framework went live. The platform holds 3,505 different suppliers offering cloud-based hosting, software and support. Learning Nexus are pleased to have been accredited as a supplier. This enables us to offer LMS and eLearning services to the public sector.
Firstly, what is G-Cloud 10 and the ‘Digital Marketplace’?
G-Cloud 10 is the latest version of the UK Government initiative to simplify the procurement of cloud-based services. Usually, public sector organisations have to complete a long and drawn out tender for services. In contrast, G-Cloud 10 allows organisations to call off listed services without the need for a full tender.
Why did the Government introduce G-Cloud?
Notably, the aim of the framework is to break down the barriers between small-medium enterprises (SMEs) and Government organisations. According to the Government, 90% of the firms on the G-Cloud 10 framework are SMEs. In addition, more than £3 billion has been spent via the Digital Marketplace since its conception in 2012.
Why should organisations use G-Cloud 10?
There are several benefits to procuring services through the Digital Marketplace. With this in mind, here’s a few in detail:
- Simplify the procurement process by narrowing down your favourite suppliers and facilitate a ‘mini competition’ to choose the most suitable
- Save time, money and resource on research by having suppliers in one place
- Gain access to suppliers you may have never come across
- Suppliers are pre-vetted and approved by the Crown Commercial Service – giving you assurance that suppliers are legitimate and genuine
- All pricing is shown with services, allowing for increased transparency and provides you with more information to choose suitable suppliers within your budget
- Gain access to various cloud services all in one place
