Kahootz has been chosen by the Crown Commercial Service to provide cloud collaboration software services to the UK public sector. This 12th iteration of the G-Cloud procurement framework which makes it quick and easy for over 51,600 public sector organisations to procure cloud hosting, software and support is expected to go live on the 28th September 2020.
Following this contract award, Kahootz fully expects to build on the 176,000 users that are already licensed via the G-Cloud. Valued by hundreds of organisations, and the winner of many industry G-Cloud awards, Kahootz is recognised as a leading supplier of team collaboration and stakeholder engagement software to the UK public sector.
For Kahootz, a UK tech SME, the G-Cloud has been a positive market and business enabler. Since its introduction in 2012, Kahootz sales have quadrupled through sustained year-on-year growth and the company predicts a 20% increase in revenue this year.
Kahootz was one of the first G-Cloud software suppliers to achieve pan-Government accreditation for cloud security and operational excellence. It’s also the only cloud collaboration platform to be departmentally accredited by the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) to securely store and share OFFICIAL-SENSITVE information with external stakeholder organisations over the Internet.
Kahootz CEO, Peter Jackson commented “We’re delighted to be selected for G-Cloud 12 and we’re seeing more public sector organisations realising the operational and financial benefits of cloud technology. Never has this been more noticeable than during the current pandemic. We were pleased that in a time of real need, our service was able to scale quickly, enabling the staff and stakeholders of our public sector clients to collaborate securely over the Internet whilst working from home. We’re proud to support the government departments such as NHS England, the Department of Health and Social Care and the Cabinet Office – that were at the forefront of battling COVID-19,.”
