WhatG-Cloud 15 (GC15) is the replacement for G-Cloud 14 (GC14), G-Cloud 14 Lot 4 (GC14.4) and Cloud Compute 2 (CC2). It is the largest framework of its kind in the public sector. G-Cloud spend for FY23/24 was £3.1bn and Cloud Compute was £0.5m. The Public Cloud market (in the Public Sector) is estimated to be worth £6bn in 2024 according to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and Government Digital Service. This includes services that have already migrated to cloud (under the Cloud first policy) and the potential for those services yet to move to cloud. G-Cloud 15 will introduce a number of further improvements, mainly focussing on increased playbook and policy compliance and intention to adopt a more traditional approach to evaluation, as seen on other GCA frameworks, these include: Leveraging the popularity of G-Cloud to incorporate Cloud Compute services which have historically been available through Cloud Compute 1 and 2, removing the need for Cloud Compute 3.

- Absent is not zero. A figure shown as Not reported was not given in the accounts we hold. Small and micro companies do not have to file a profit and loss account, so turnover and profit are usually absent for them.
- The 2016 row is partial: accounts filed before October 2016 are not in our set.
- Accounts for years ending in 2025 and 2026 are still being filed, so the newest years may be missing.
- Employees, cash and net assets are shown as Not shown when the filed figure is not possible (for example a negative headcount or negative cash).
Definitions
- Total assets less current liabilities
- Fixed assets plus current assets, minus what the company owes within a year. It is not total assets: cash can be larger than this figure when the company owes a lot in the short term. Where a filing does not give it, the table marks the fixed-assets figure used instead.
- Net assets
- What the company owns minus everything it owes. Also called shareholders' funds.
- Turnover
- Sales for the year. Only larger companies report it.
- Accounts
- The accounting framework named in the filing (for example FRS 102). Not stated means the filing does not say.
