Databarracks accepted on G-Cloud 13

Databarracks has been accepted as a supplier on the G-Cloud 13 framework.

Databarracks provides resilience and cloud services to the Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy, the Environment Agency, Innovate UK and UK Research and Innovation.

James Watts, managing director of Databarracks said: “The framework comes at a difficult time for government spending and procurement. Efficiency and value for money are critical. The benefits of shorter contracts and nimble SME suppliers can help reduce costs and keep public services delivering.

“The move to G-Cloud 13 has been one of the more significant iterations. G-Cloud 12 was extended multiple times to allow for the transition and the shift to the Crown Commercial Service Public Procurement Gateway.

“For all the good intentions behind G-Cloud, there have always been challenges. G-Cloud 13 has had a rocky start after launching without supplier transparency over the search process, which has rightly received backlash from the supplier community. That feature is promised to be reintroduced shortly. On the buyer side, it is vital they are well-informed about the changes and updates to the programme and new procurement gateway to make sure momentum does not stall between these frameworks."
