1 Service Overview
1.1
Service Summary
In a nutshell, what is it that Deloitte will do for you?
This service delivers a proven workshop led by experts from Deloitte's commercial and procurement team about
buying services from G-Cloud, and a tailored follow-up meeting with a senior professional from Deloitte to discuss
the pros and cons of using G-Cloud services for the customer's needs.
Deloitte will provide guidance and advice that has been prepared by our experienced commercial team specifically
to help customers navigate the G-Cloud catalogue and understand the rules, limitations and opportunities of using
G-Cloud to fulfil business requirements from the market.
1.2
Business Context
What situations is this service designed to be used in?
The G-Cloud catalogue can be daunting for business customers as well as procurement / buying teams because it
represents a very different way of procuring services from suppliers. This service is designed for public bodies that
see G-Cloud as a potential vehicle for buying commoditised services in a new and flexible way, but want access to
specialists who can give guidance about how to use it.

2 Detailed Service Description
2.1
Our Approach
At a mutually convenient time and date, Deloitte will deliver our proven two hour workshop entitled "How to Buy
from G-Cloud with Confidence and Success". This workshop is aimed at business customers and procurement /
buying professionals. It is often best delivered to a mixed team from the customer, acting as a catalyst to gain
common understanding and awareness of the options available.
The topics covered include:

Finding the right service and the right supplier, at the right price

Demonstrating that the selected service is the most economically advantageous option available

Identifying when G-Cloud is and is not an appropriate framework to purchase from
This workshop covers the full breadth of the G-Cloud catalogue, including all four Lots, and is not restricted to
Deloitte's services on G-Cloud.
Following the workshop, Deloitte will provide a meeting of an hour or more with one or more of our senior client
service professionals (often and Director / Partner level) to discuss the customer's specific situation and provide
tailored advice about the options for procuring the services that the customer may require.
2.2

We have assumed that you will be in a position to provide certain inputs to the service, which we have
listed here. If you are not in a position to provide all of these inputs then please get in touch to discuss
options, as it is likely we can reach agreement to alter our approach to accommodate your situation.

Information about your business need and context, such that the discussions can be tailored to the use of
G-Cloud to procure services that meet your requirement

Information about any specific rules, expectations or constraints to the way supplier services are procured in
your organisation

2.4
Outputs
What will you get in terms of deliverables, outputs and outcomes from this service?
Deloitte will deliver the workshop and follow-up meeting, and will provide advice and recommendations. There will
be no written report or output from this service.
2.5
Scale and Complexity
The effort involved in delivering our service is driven partly by what we will do (which we have described in
section 2.1 above) and what you will do before we arrive and alongside us whilst we work (which we have
described in sections 2.2 and 2.3 above respectively). It is also driven by the scale and complexity of your
business situation.
This section describes the scale and complexity that we have designed this service to address. If your
business situation is bigger or smaller than this then please get in touch to discuss options, as it is likely
we can reach agreement to alter our approach to accommodate your situation.
This service is available to any public body that needs it.

In this section we outline some of the elements which differentiate us in the marketplace.

We have processes in place to preserve the integrity and independence of the services we provide. For
example, bids are subject to conflict checks to avoid conflicts of interest, all Deloitte staff are required to

checks and there are frequent internal audits and compliance checks
5.3

Security Vetting SC level. In total, this is over 1,000 people with some form of security vetting.
Deloitte is a List X company. We employ a full time Security Controller and Security Team to manage security
clearances, advise on development of Security Management Plans and manage compliance with security
processes.
We have comprehensive Business Continuity Plans in place in all locations. Staff are equipped to work remotely if
client sites or Deloitte sites are inaccessible.
5.4
Responsible Business
At Deloitte Responsible Business is not just a strap line. We appreciate that our everyday business activities affect
wider society through our actions and through the actions of those with whom we do business.
Our approach to Corporate Responsibility is fully integrated with our business strategy; as such we are fully
committed to addressing requirements from the Social Value Act. In the last year we launched our inaugural Impact
Report (http://www.deloitte.co.uk/impact/), replacing our traditional annual report and providing the platform through
which we will measure our impact and contribution to society into the longer term.
5.5
Geographical Coverage
Deloitte has 20 office locations throughout the UK, plus offices in Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man. We
also have a National Solutions Centre which is based in Belfast and provides software engineering capabilities for
our clients.
5.6
Innovation and Continuous Improvement
Deloitte understands the importance of innovation to public sector clients in their endeavours to reduce costs and
ensure better outcomes. Deloitte approaches public sector engagements from the standpoint of delivering tangible
or measureable outcomes and effective use of resources. Cloud provides a major opportunity to challenge existing
provision of IT in the organisation, and improve working practices, service levels and reduce operating costs.
We are willing to challenge current ways of working in the public sector and to harness technology and lean
thinking to produce satisfactory outcomes that deliver the client’s objectives at lower cost.
D-G4-L4-036 How to Buy from G-Cloud Deloitte LLP Service for G-Cloud IV 7
We seek to ensure that our people, methods, infrastructure and working practices deliver high quality services to
our clients and an environment where our staff can work effectively. We recognise that this is only possible if our
working procedures, methods and tools, staff skills and training continue to improve.
We undertake a number of activities to set objectives for key processes, measure performance against these
objectives and assess and adjust our operational and engagement procedures to sustain improvement.
5.7
Capability Transfer
Deloitte prefers to provide capability, knowledge or skills transfer on most projects. We can also work in such a
way that capability transfer is at the heart of the engagement. Examples include:

Training client staff for team roles at the outset of an engagement to reduce costs and provide for continuity of
skills after we exit from the client

Providing only those services which a client cannot provide for themselves and avoid practices such as staff
substitution as much as possible

Delivering comprehensive capability transfer so that client staff are able to take over fully the operation or
extension of a service or continue to manage a change programme from their own resources.
We also have a programme of secondments both to and from the public sector, which enhances our industry
insight while strengthening our relationship with public sector.
5.8
Our Business Structure
Deloitte LLP comprises a number of business units. Our G-Cloud services are provided from across our business,
bringing in the skills and experience we need. Because our business structure is set up as a group, some of our
business units are constituted as wholly owned subsidiaries of Deloitte LLP. For the purposes of our G-Cloud
services, the Deloitte MCS Limited (company registration number 03311052) is a sub-contractor that we may rely
upon to deliver service.
