Supplier and Buyer growth
Growth in the number of buyers and suppliers has been resiliently positive each month since the launch of the framework, with approx. 20 new buyers and 15 new suppliers being added each month. This is pretty impressive expansion of the use of the G-Cloud framework. We have seen no slowdown in growth.
- The number of customers has risen by 26 (bringing the total to 1336).
- The number of suppliers has risen by 26 (bringing the total to 976).
You can see the trends in growth of suppliers and buyers using the Framework Analysis tab on the G-Cloud Spend page. Note - it may take the Framework Analysis tab a few seconds to load because the page does a lot of number crunching.
