We are delighted to announce that ORION WEB has been officially named by the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) as a G-Cloud 14 Supplier.
What exactly is G-Cloud and how it works
The UK Government G-Cloud is a framework agreement that helps public sector organisations such as Councils, NHS entities and Government bodies buy Cloud-based services. It makes the procurement of digital services by public sector bodies in the United Kingdom easier and much quicker and it consists of:
- A series of framework agreements with appointed suppliers, from which public sector organisations can buy services without needing to run a full tender or their own competitive procurement processes
- An online store – the "Digital Marketplace" (previously "CloudStore"), which allows public sector bodies to search for services that are covered by the G-Cloud frameworks
As a result, through G-Cloud 14, public sector buyers can be more flexible, secure and granular with their acquisition of services. You can find G-Cloud's official buyers' guide here.
