The Government Commercial Agency announced on 10 August 2026 that it had relaunched the G-Cloud framework as G-Cloud 15, describing it as the most significant upgrade since the framework began in 2012. The agreement consolidates three previously separate frameworks — Cloud Compute 2 and Lots 1–3 and 4 of G-Cloud 14 — into a single streamlined agreement. It was valued at approximately £14 billion over a four-year term, with an estimated £3 billion in annual public sector cloud spend flowing through it. The agency said approximately 90% of suppliers were small and medium-sized enterprises.

The framework was reported as opening for public sector use later that month. Call-off contracts could run up to a maximum of 60 months. New and growing businesses could join during an 18-month re-opening window after launch and at regular intervals throughout the term. The agency said it was the first G-Cloud agreement launched since the GCA was formed on 1 April 2026 and the first to operate under the Procurement Act 2023 with an open framework format.

Philip Orumwense, Commercial Director and Chief Procurement Officer for Technology at GCA, said the framework addressed barriers facing SMEs, including complex application processes and short framework windows. The agency said G-Cloud 14 would remain operational until its expiry on 28 October 2026, by which date all call-off contracts had to be signed.
