The UK government has extended an agreement that will enable public sector IT buyers to continue purchasing AWS services at discounted prices for another three years, despite anti-competitive concerns.
Known as the One Government Value Agreement (OGVA), the public sector IT buyers can access committed spend discounts on AWS products and services, offering users baseline discounts of up to 18%.
CCS confirmed in a statement that OGVA 2.0 looks set to bring even bigger financial benefits to users of the scheme, offering a discount structure that makes lower prices available to all public sector bodies directly through AWS or via licensed solution providers, regardless of their size or size of order. The next iteration of the Home Office contract has already been arranged via the G-Cloud procurement framework and is set to cost £450m over three years. It is also the first contract to be issued under OGVA 2.0 terms.
According to CCS, the scheme allows the entire public sector to benefit from discounts on aggregated spend and is one of a series of pricing agreements CCS has setup in recent years with public cloud providers.
