Bedroq joins G-Cloud 15: What does it mean for UK police forces?

Bedroq is now a listed supplier on G-Cloud 15, the Government Commercial Agency’s framework for public sector cloud hosting, software, and support services. G-Cloud 15 supersedes G-Cloud 14, and our place on the framework was officially confirmed today (6th August 2026).

For our police sector customers, this means three of our core solutions are now available through a pre-approved, compliant procurement route, without the need for a full open tender:

  • Bedroq Capture – video management and capture platform, powered by Milestone.
  • Bedroq Seek – video analytics and facial recognition investigation tool, powered by BriefCam and NEC NeoFace Watch.
  • Bedroq Core – fully-managed, resilient, and secure cloud hosting, delivered from our UK-based Police Assured Security Facility (PASF) data centres.

What’s different this time round?

G-Cloud 15 isn’t a straight rollover of G-Cloud 14. Here are some of the key changes:

  • It’s built on new government procurement law. G-Cloud 15 is the first version run under the Procurement Act 2023, giving forces regular windows to bring in new suppliers or let existing ones improve their offer, rather than waiting years for a full re-tender.
  • It’s more finely tuned to what you’re actually buying. An extra lot has been added so infrastructure, software and support services are categorised more precisely, making it easier to find and procure the right type of service.
  • Contracts can run much longer. The old one-size-fits-all G-Cloud terms are gone, replaced with a more flexible contract structure that allows call-offs of up to eight years (versus the previous four-year cap), cutting how often forces need to re-procure.
  • Security bar is higher. Suppliers on the more sensitive lots now need Cyber Essentials Plus rather than standard Cyber Essentials, giving forces stronger assurance on data handling before they even get to contract.
  • Buyers get a choice. Forces could only direct-award under G-Cloud 14. Under G-Cloud 15, they can still direct-award for speed, or run a short competition between suppliers if they want to test value for money first.

G-Cloud 14 remains live until 28 October 2026, so there’s a grace period where both frameworks run side by side, giving forces already working with us plenty of time to transition without disruption.

Why this matters for police forces

For forces managing legacy CCTV estates, with growing investigatory demands under Home Office digital policing mandates, this gives a faster, lower-risk route to bring Capture, Seek, and Core on board. With longer contract terms that reduce the administrative overhead of frequent re-procurement, and a hosting environment already built around PASF compliance, NCSC principles, and 24/7 monitoring with security incidents reported within 24 hours.
