G-Cloud 15 (GC15) is the replacement for G-Cloud 14 (GC14), G-Cloud 14 Lot 4 (GC14.4) and Cloud Compute 2 (CC2). It is the largest framework of its kind in the public sector. G-Cloud spend for FY23/24 was £3.1bn and Cloud Compute was £0.5m. The Public Cloud market (in the Public Sector) is estimated to be worth £6bn in 2024 according to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and Government Digital Service. This includes services that have already migrated to cloud (under the Cloud first policy) and the potential for those services yet to move to cloud. G-Cloud 15 will introduce a number of further improvements, mainly focussing on increased playbook and policy compliance and intention to adopt a more traditional approach to evaluation, as seen on other GCA frameworks, these include: Leveraging the popularity of G-Cloud to incorporate Cloud Compute services which have historically been available through Cloud Compute 1 and 2, removing the need for Cloud Compute 3. Discontinuing Lot 4 and enabling both call off with and without competition in all Lots Social Value, Quality, and Price Evaluations delivered through the evaluation at scale project, pending digital enhancements. Introduction of appropriate levels of Economic and Financial Standing (EFS) for each Lot in G-Cloud 15, replacing the Bronze Plus blanket approach used for G-Cloud 14. Inclusion of prompt payment and no longer needing to seek a Ministerial exemption. A range of digital enhancements to improve the buyer and supplier experience and provide better quality category information. For Lot 1b, 16 suppliers have been awarded the contract, but all are withheld under section 94.
