Innovate Cloud Services Become Government-Approved as G-Cloud 15 Supplier

Innovate has been approved as a G-Cloud 15 supplier, having undergone a rigorous application and evaluation process that evaluates a cloud services supplier's quality, technical proficiency, and pricing. This marks a strategic achievement that provides public sector organisations with a compliant and simplified procurement route for critical cloud operations, cyber security, resilience, and support services. 

This approval comes as the G-Cloud framework has undergone its biggest upgrade in history since its inception in 2012. With G-Cloud 15, previously separate frameworks (Cloud Compute 2 and Lots 1-3 and 4 of G-Cloud 14) have now been channeled into one framework that allows public sector customers such as NHS trusts and local authorities to purchases all their cloud services in one agreement

This means access to pre-approved suppliers - especially relevant as 90% of those are SMEs which eliminates the need for individual organisations to conduct exhaustive due diligence on every potential supplier, significantly reducing risk and procurement time. The framework also provides standardised pricing structures that simplify budget planning and reduce the risk of hidden costs emerging during implementation. Public sector organisations can hence focus on selecting the right solution for their specific needs rather than validating whether suppliers meet basic standards.

Innovate's inclusion on the G-Cloud framework means public sector IT managers can now procure comprehensive services spanning

• Cloud Monitoring & Alerting Operations,

• Managed Backup Services,

• Microsoft 365 Managed Services,

• Cyber Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity Services,

• Cloud Migration Services (Delivery & Execution),

• Cloud Optimisation Services (Operational),

• Incident Management (Cloud & Security),

• Security Auditing & Control Validation

• Cloud Security Operations (Managed SOC), and

• Managed Cloud Services (24x7 Operations & Support).

Each of these services addresses specific operational continuity requirements that public sector organisations face daily.

David Pape, Director at Innovate, notes:

"I'm delighted Innovate has been successfully admitted to this framework as a testament to our operational capabilities and working practices. The new G-Cloud 15 framework levels the playing field for what has been largely reserved for bigger players in the market. That bigger does not necessarily mean better has already been made abundantly clear when observing the market. As an SME, we pride ourselves on our technical expertise, personalised customer service, and fair pricing.

We welcome that public sector organisations, which are often lacking the in-house expertise to evaluate complex cloud security and resilience solutions, now have a platform with G-Cloud 15 that demonstrates suppliers' technical competence and operational maturity for all aspects of cloud services.

We are now looking forward to delivering our service to even more public sector organisations seeking to drive more resilient, secure, and productive operations. This approval represents a commitment to supporting critical public services that citizens depend upon and opens up new opportunities for Innovate to bring our expertise to the further public sector."
