After announcement by Francis Maude this morning the Governments new CloudStore has opened for business.
What is the CloudStore?
Government has been working to make the purchasing of public sector ICT as simple and transparent as possible. The result is a new web site, which we are calling the CloudStore.
The CloudStore is a new way for Government to buy IT products and services. At the moment this site is a pilot and we’re asking for your feedback so we can add to and improve it.
The CloudStore is an online catalogue of over 1,700 information and communications services available to the UK public sector, and contains details of each of the suppliers and their services. You can use the CloudStore to select the services that best suit your needs.
All the services listed on the CloudStore are part of the G-Cloud framework so are immediately available for the public sector to procure and use.
This is the first of its kind in the UK for public sector ICT procurement, and we are committed to ensuring that this method of buying ICT goods and services is efficient and fit for purpose.
