G-Cloud 13 will replace G-Cloud 12 and will continue to provide cloud hosting and software services, together with associated support services to the UK central government departments and all other public sector bodies.

Note, the scope and application process for Lots 1-3 remain unchanged. Suppliers can apply for any combination of the four lots.

The G-Cloud 13 agreement will run for 12 months with an option to extend for a further 12 months.
