The intent of the MoU is to make it easier and more affordable for UK public sector agencies to leverage the full range of Google Cloud's services to increase innovation and deliver digital transformation.

CCS, the UK Cabinet Office executive agency and trading fund, engaged Google Cloud in 2019 to discuss requirements for cloud services under the One Government Cloud Strategy, a joint initiative between Cabinet Office, CCS and Government Digital Service.

Together, CCS and Google Cloud are breaking down the barriers to cloud adoption for all eligible UK public sector organizations, such as government departments, local councils, arm's length bodies, NHS bodies, public funded broadcasters, and charities.

"CCS provides commercial agreements which help organisations across the entire public sector save time and money on buying everyday goods and services," said Simon Tse, Chief Executive, CCS. "This MoU with Google Cloud unlocks large-scale business benefits for our customers, and demonstrates CCS's role in helping the public sector serve UK citizens in more innovative ways."

CCS and Google Cloud will maintain regular dialogue and strategy sessions to ensure the UK public sector has access to Google Cloud's latest innovations.
