Manchester, LANCS, Aug. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Purple, the global guest, staff and multi-tenant WiFi and analytics platform, has been awarded a place on the UK Government's G-Cloud 15 framework. The listing makes Purple's connectivity and analytics platform available to buy directly across the public sector, from local councils and NHS trusts to schools, universities, blue light services and central government.

Purple has been awarded a place on the UK Government's G-Cloud 15 framework

Because direct award is available across all G-Cloud 15 lots, a public-sector buyer who knows they want Purple can call off from the catalogue rather than run a competitive tender, turning a process that often takes months into one that can take weeks.

What G-Cloud 15 is

G-Cloud is the UK Government's cloud buying framework, which has facilitated over £20 billion of public-sector spend since 2012. G-Cloud 15 is the newest version, the first built under the Procurement Act 2023, and runs through to September 2030.

Buying Purple through G-Cloud 15

For any public-sector organisation that wants Purple, the framework makes it simple. There is no tender to run and no contract to negotiate, the terms are pre-agreed and closely aligned to the standard Public Sector Contract, the pricing is published, and the due diligence is already done. Buyers can award directly from the catalogue and be up and running in weeks, with call-offs that can run for years to support a proper multi-year programme rather than an annual renewal. Partners such as Softcat, Vodafone and MLL can supply Purple through the same route.

Iain Fox, VP Public Sector at Purple, said:

"Being awarded a place on G-Cloud 15 is an important step for Purple and our work with councils across the UK.

For us, digital inclusion and data-led decision making are closely connected. Providing free, secure connectivity can help remove some of the barriers that prevent people from participating in an increasingly digital society, while the anonymised intelligence generated through those networks can give councils a much better understanding of how their places are actually being used.

From understanding footfall and dwell time to identifying patterns across a region, we believe councils should be able to turn connectivity into meaningful insight, helping them make better, evidence-led decisions about the places and communities they serve.

We're proud to be part of G-Cloud 15 and look forward to working with more public-sector organisations to make that possible."
