Published requirement descriptionG-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.
CPV: IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support

How this buyer will score bids.
The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).
Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
| Lot | Quality | Price | Social value | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Cloud Hosting | 80% | 10% | 10% | |
| 3 · Cloud Hosting | 80% | 10% | 10% | |
| 4 · Infrastructure Software as a Service (iSaaS) | 10% | 80% | 10% | |
| 5 · Software as a Service (SaaS) quality award questions | 10% | 80% | 10% | |
| 2 · Cloud Support | 10% | 80% | 10% |
- Price carries 10–80 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 80 points.
- “G Cloud 15” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

Working collaboratively with CXD, 28 stakeholder engagement sessions were completed for the first round of pre-OBC engagement, comprising one to one and group sessions with customers, suppliers and other stakeholders, with approximately 700 delegates attending. The G-Cloud 15 stakeholder engagement plan, records details of when, who, why and the outcomes for each engagement, covering customers, suppliers and other stakeholders. Including a summary sheet to monitor all engagements in terms of scheduling, completion and sharing of information.
Further customer and supplier engagement is planned between June to September 2025, to deliver specific sessions/videos on required elements as a result of the sessions held in June/July i.e. what suppliers and customers want to see next (e.g. a specific session/video on FVRA).
Round 2 of Engagement was postponed due to uncertainty of having a Digital Solution in place. It was agreed with the CAAAB team that sessions with Customers and Suppliers would be held post-FBC to advise on the Strategy that has been agreed and approved.
