Whitespace has been named as a supplier on G-Cloud 15, the UK Government’s latest framework for purchasing cloud-based technology and services.
Our appointment creates a clearer route for eligible public sector organisations to procure our listed services, supporting our work to help customers move AI from experimentation into operational use.
For organisations managing sensitive information, complex workflows and essential public services, adopting AI requires more than access to technology. It requires a clear operational purpose, appropriate governance and a practical route to deployment. Procurement is an important part of that journey.
G-Cloud 15 provides a framework through which central government departments, local authorities, police forces, NHS organisations and other eligible bodies can purchase cloud hosting, software and support. Managed by the Government Commercial Agency, it replaces G-Cloud 14 and operates under the Procurement Act 2023.
Being appointed as a supplier means Whitespace has met the requirements for admission to the framework. GCA describes G-Cloud 15 as introducing its most thorough supplier assessment to date, evaluating suppliers on quality, technical proficiency and pricing to give buyers greater confidence in their selection.
For buyers, the framework offers transparent pricing, established contractual terms and defined purchasing procedures. Depending on the requirement and the framework rules, organisations can award a contract through a competitive selection process or an award without competition. This can reduce procurement complexity while retaining the assessment and accountability needed for public sector purchasing.
Through Collective, our AI Operating System, we help organisations develop and operationalise AI applications with governance, auditability and control built into their delivery. Our focus is on supporting assured decision-making and operational resilience, with organisations retaining control over their data, models and deployment environment.
Our appointment to G-Cloud 15 supports that ambition by giving public sector customers an established route to purchase the Whitespace services listed on the framework.
