Manchester-based Morson Group has secured a major achievement, with four of its entities awarded supplier status on the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) G-Cloud 14 Framework. This milestone enables these companies to provide a diverse range of pre-approved cloud services to public sector organisations via the government’s Digital Marketplace.
Morson Projects, renowned for its forward-thinking consultancy solutions, has been named a G-Cloud 14 supplier for the first time, offering services such as cyber security, machine learning, and DevOps. Astraeus Consulting (‘Astraeus’) joins an elite group of 42 suppliers on G-Cloud 14 Lot 4, which was introduced under G-Cloud 13 to address large-scale projects facilitating transitions to cloud software and hosting services.
Astraeus now sits alongside notable firms including Deloitte, Capgemini UK, and Ernst & Young as part of the prestigious Lot 4 network. Meanwhile, fellow Morson Group companies Bridge Technology Partners and InterQuest have retained their positions as G-Cloud 14 suppliers, continuing to deliver innovative and impactful cloud-based services.
“We are incredibly proud to join the government’s G-Cloud 14 Framework,” said Gareth Beck, Operational Director at 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 of Astraeus, shared his excitement:
“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, emphasised the value of their offerings:
“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 Morson Group, added:
“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, with services now available for procurement through the Digital Marketplace.
