Manchester-based Morson Group has achieved significant recognition, with four of its businesses awarded supplier status on the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) G-Cloud 14 Framework. This enables the companies to offer a wide array of pre-approved cloud services to public sector organisations via the government’s Digital Marketplace.
For the first time, Morson Projects has been named a G-Cloud 14 supplier, offering cutting-edge services including cyber security, machine learning, and DevOps. Astraeus Consulting (‘Astraeus’) has also joined the exclusive list of 42 suppliers for G-Cloud 14 Lot 4. Lot 4, first introduced as part of G-Cloud 13, is specifically designed for large-scale projects that support the transition to cloud software and hosting services.
Astraeus now stands alongside major players such as Deloitte, Capgemini UK, and Ernst & Young as part of the Lot 4 supplier network. Meanwhile, Morson Group entities Bridge Technology Partners and InterQuest have maintained their positions as G-Cloud 14 suppliers, offering enhanced and dynamic cloud-based services to public sector buyers.
“We are incredibly proud to join the government’s G-Cloud 14 Framework,” said Gareth Beck, Operational Director of Morson Projects. “Our teams are looking forward to helping framework buyers maximise the value and impact of their IT project investments, whether they take the form of complex change projects or smaller discrete work packages, by delivering effective and efficient solutions to their challenges.”
Linton Ward, Managing Director at Astraeus, added:
“We are thrilled to be awarded approved supplier status on this second iteration of the G-Cloud Lot 4 framework – an accolade which is testament to our business’s growth and ongoing expansion of consulting services offered to the public sector. Being part of this exclusive network of Lot 4 suppliers provides an incredibly exciting opportunity for Astraeus to support larger-scale projects and accelerate digital change across the public sector.”
Andy Wadsworth, Director of Bridge Technology Partners, expressed his pride at retaining their position:
“Our portfolio of cloud-based services offer public sector organisations new opportunities to maximise efficiency, catalyse innovation and unlock value creation – as we continue working together to empower the transformation of future-ready public services.”
Ged Mason, Chief Executive of the Morson Group, concluded:
“As a Group, we are incredibly proud of this achievement. Securing G-Cloud 14 awards across four of our entities and extending the scope of our current capability to encompass the incredibly prestigious Lot 4, is testament to our technical expertise, robust project governance, commitment to innovation and empowered approach to zero dependency. I am excited to see each entity leverage its unique strengths to accelerate digital transformation across the public sector.”
The G-Cloud 14 Framework went live on 29 October 2024, and services are now available for procurement through the Digital Marketplace.
