All guidance notes that the Office of Government Procurement can be found here.
The Office of Government Procurement’s Cloud Services Procurement Guidance Note is provided to assist public sector organisations to understand and manage the key contractual and commercial considerations when procuring cloud computing services.
Public sector organisations can use the guidance note as a useful, easy-reference toolkit to assist them when preparing tender documentation for cloud services and, in particular, the services contract and commercial provisions that form essential parts of that documentation.
The note builds on existing guidance issued by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer that recognises the many advantages and benefits associated with the use of cloud computing services and clearly sets out the strategy for the adoption of cloud solutions for all new and renewed public service ICT systems.
The detailed information contained in the OGP Guidance note will help public sector organisations to avail of the value in cloud services through tendering in an informed manner and in compliance with public procurement regulations.
