The G-Cloud framework is a UK Government initiative designed to simplify the process of procurement for public-sector entities across the UK. Created through a partnership between the Crown Commercial Service and the Government Digital Service, G-Cloud 10 is part of the UK government's "Digital Marketplace."
The tenth version of the G-Cloud portal was originally announced in March 2018, and the CSS agreed to start accepting bids from suppliers in April 2018. Since introducing the first G-Cloud iteration in 2012, the government has invested almost £3 billion on the system, with 48% of that spend dedicated to small and mid-sized enterprises. The 10th version of G-Cloud was launched to meet the demands of new suppliers, and refresh services for current providers.
