HGS is now an approved G-Cloud Supplier

Crown Commercial Service’s G-Cloud simplifies the procurement process for the UK public sector seeking cloud services

HGS has been named as a supplier on Crown Commercial Service’s (CCS) G-Cloud framework, which means HGS will continue to supply cloud and digital workforce solutions on the G-Cloud 12 Framework, including cloud and automation services to enable the cognitive contact centre.

G-Cloud is a CCS procurement framework that enables public sector organisations to search, evaluate and procure cloud services from select suppliers. G-Cloud 12 went live this month. CCS supports the public sector to achieve maximum commercial value when procuring common goods and services.

The CCS digital marketplace provides UK public sector organizations with a fast and compliant way to procure cloud-based technology that avoids lengthy tender processes. As public sector organizations face unprecedented challenges, the ability to quickly roll out technology solutions at scale is critical.
