The government is to yet again extend the deadline for those suppliers who wish to join its G-Cloud framework and a posting on the G-Cloud website revealed that a “CloudStore” is on its way.

The idea of the CloudStore is that it will offer up to 1,700 cloud services from 600 suppliers and the Government is said to be currently accrediting these services. Whitehall and governmental bodies can then pick and choose what cloud services they require. The first first tranche of G-Cloud services are expected to be rolled out in February.
