Version 1 is thrilled to announce that we have been named as a supplier on 2 lots on Crown Commercial Service’s (CCS) Cloud Compute 2 (RM6292) framework, a testament to our commitment to providing high-quality services to the UK public sector.

About the Cloud Compute 2 (RM6292) Framework  

This multi-supplier, multi-lot framework agreement is designed to provide public cloud computing services to a wide range of potential buyers. These include (but are not limited to) Central Government Departments, their arm’s length bodies and agencies, the wider public sector, and third-sector organisations in local government, health, education, police, fire and rescue, housing associations, and charities. 

Cloud Compute 2 allows buyers to fulfil their public cloud computing needs directly from core cloud service suppliers or choose to fulfil their requirements indirectly through resellers. It also offers additional value-adding ancillary services that support the customer’s adoption, usage, or optimisation of the core cloud services. 

RM6292 is expected to run for 3 years with the option of one extension, (for up to 1 year). 

Our Awarded Lots 

This framework award comes after a rigorous evaluation process, and we are delighted to have been successful on two lots. The awarded lots include: 

  • Lot 2 – Value-added Ancillary Services 
  • Lot 3 – Professional Services
