The government is considering creating a third framework to complement the existing G-Cloud and G-Hosting frameworks. Government CIO, Andy Nelson, revealed the potential for a new framework to help the public sector move to modern systems and software along with promoting the adoption of cloud based services.

The success of the G-Cloud framework in sourcing suppliers for public sector projects as well as promoting SMEs to offer competitive services has led to Whitehall contemplating a new framework to meet demand.

Andy Nelson said, “we could use more standard cloud services further down the track. Now is the time to think through how we do that, so we might end up with three different frameworks.”
