Workplace by Facebook is now available on the G-Cloud 10 Framework through Generation Digital. Workplace by Facebook is a private and secure work collaboration tool. It is a dedicated space for companies to connect, communicate and collaborate. Organisations of all sizes can use familiar Facebook features such as news feed, groups, messages and events to get work done.

As a the only G-Cloud 10 supplier for Workplace, we offer full end to end support for organisations that want to deploy Workplace by Facebook ranging from strategy, technical setup, user training, documentation, etc.

We are proud to work with a broad range of Public & Private sector customers across various industries, on Digital Workplace and Cloud Adoption projects.

The G-Cloud framework

The G-Cloud framework is an agreement between the government and suppliers who provide cloud-based services.

G-Cloud services are divided into 3 categories, or ‘lots’:

  • cloud hosting, for example content delivery networks or load balancing services
  • cloud software, for example accounting tools or customer service management software
  • cloud support, for example migration services or ongoing support

Buying services through frameworks is faster and cheaper than entering into individual procurement contracts. Buyers and suppliers still need to sign a contract (or ‘call-off contract’) for each service bought through a framework.
