Frequently Asked Questions

How does Responsiv prefer to be engaged?
While we are comfortable working against any of the above frameworks as well as direct award and full OJEU. We find GCloud offers a good balance between low overhead, quick procurement and customers getting the solution they want. We also find that most of our customers are implementing a cloud-first approach (inline with the GDS strategy) and this makes GCloud the obvious choice. Because of this we have focused our efforts on providing as many services as possible on GCloud.
What if I’m not using cloud solutions?
It’s quite likely that your services requirement is more related to cloud than you think. As well as public cloud related services (like solutions running on AWS), you can also procure services for private cloud (such as those running on VMware) and for services to help you transition to the cloud (such as strategy consulting).
Really? I can use GCloud for On-prem private cloud?
NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technologies) defines private cloud as follows: The cloud infrastructure is provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization comprising multiple consumers (e.g., business units). It may be owned, managed, and operated by the organization, a third party, or some combination of them, and it may exist on or off premises.

VMware (and others) define their virtualisation platform as a private cloud and even allow you to purchase solution on public cloud with the same technology.
Can I have a copy of your Call-Off contract?
We are working towards publishing a copy of our GCloud call-off contract to make it more transparent and even easier for you to procure services and solutions from us.
Are you on RM3733 Lot 2?
Unfortunately we are not on Lot 2 for RM3733 (TP2). You can however procure many software solutions through GCloud Lot 2 and even procure on-prem (private cloud) software solutions if you combine them with our managed service and Jumpstart® solutions.
