Advanced Infrastructure are pleased to announce that they have been named as a supplier on the G-Cloud 13 framework under the Crown Commercial Service.
Replacing G-Cloud 12, G-Cloud 13 will continue to provide a large variety of cloud based services from a range of suppliers across cloud hosting, cloud software and cloud support.
Under the framework, Advanced Infrastructure have been successful in being approved as a supplier of Lot 2 Cloud Software.
As a result of being an approved supplier, UK government and public sector organisations will now have access to Advanced Infrastructure’s Local Area Energy Planning Tools, datasets and carbon data services, saving them the time and costs typically associated with a lengthy procurement process.
The Crown Commercial Service is the UK’s biggest public procurement organisation and the newly launched G-Cloud 13 framework builds on the benefits of the previous frameworks, providing access to multiple suppliers and cloud services, access to the latest cloud technology and innovation, as well as improved competition and pricing.

In 2021/22, CCS helped the public sector to achieve commercial benefits equal to £2.8 billion - supporting world-class public services that offer best value for taxpayers.
Under the Crown Commercial Service, G-Cloud 13 provides an online catalogue where public sector customers can buy approved cloud-based computing services such as hosting, software and cloud support. Including many off-the-shelf, pay-as-you-go cloud solutions.
