The UK Government G-Cloud programme has changed the way in which public sector organisations can purchase information and communications technology. The G-Cloud Framework enables public bodies to procure commodity-based, pay-as-you-go cloud services on government-approved short-term contracts through an online catalogue called the Digital Marketplace. This streamlined procurement process supports the UK Government’s "Cloud First" policy and is a key component in the government’s ambition to operate a “Cloud Native” digital architecture.
AWS offers guidance to help organisations through the creation of a valid call-off contract. AWS has 186 service offerings on G-Cloud 10 that span cloud hosting, cloud software, and cloud support. These solutions are augmented by AWS-based services offered by AWS Partner Network (APN) members.
