The G-Cloud director Tony Singleton has revealed that nearly 90 per cent of local authorities have not heard of the G-Cloud.

The G-Cloud director posted on his blog that despite the benefits of the procurement framework, “research carried out by the 6 Degree Group suggests that nearly 90 percent of local authorities have not heard of G-Cloud.”

The director detailed that the G-Cloud needed to be publicised more with the benefits communicated to local authority in order to drive uptake.

Mr Singleton said that the publication of clear guides designed to help buyers to better understand the procurement framework would help authorities understand how the cloud could reduce procurement times and improve competitive pricing.
