Backyard Technologies is an accredited supplier on the G-15 Cloud framework, delivering AI-driven data analytics, cloud migration and digital transformation for local councils, unitary authorities and the wider UK public sector. As a G-Cloud supplier, we can be engaged directly by public sector buyers without a lengthy formal tender process, giving councils and government bodies a fast, compliant route to procure cloud, data and AI capability.
We work with buyers on local government cloud migration, AI for public sector service delivery, NHS non-clinical data analytics, and net-zero reporting systems — built around the scope, users, security and data residency requirements that public sector procurement teams are required to evaluate.
By April 2028, 21 areas of England will move from a two-tier council structure to larger unitary authorities — the biggest shake-up of local government in decades. Newly formed unitary councils face tight deadlines to consolidate legacy systems, migrate data and stand up compliant digital services. G-15 Cloud gives them a route to buy that capability quickly, without a full tender process.
