UK government reaffirms commitment to using Oracle with Cloud Memorandum of Understanding

Malcolm Brock
Managing Director

The UK Government has renewed its relationship with Oracle by signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the objective of making it easier for public sector organisations to access Oracle’s Cloud services. These public sector organisations access Oracle and Oracle Partner products and services via the Government’s G-Cloud procurement framework.

Oracle technology is used in more than 800 public sector organisations, including central government, local authorities, NHS trusts and police forces.  Brovanture, the 1st Oracle Fully Certified Cloud Excellence Implementer for Enterprise Planning and Budgeting in the UK & IRL, has experience across a wide range of UK public sector organisations including The Department of Health and Social Care, The Home Office, Reading Borough Council, a large Police Force and a major Ambulance Service.

“The Brovanture team have become a key delivery partner in our financial reporting business and continue to be a pleasure to work with both on a personal and professional level. The upgrade was delivered on time and under budget, which was a great result for all concerned.”    Christopher Young, Accounts and Operations Branch Finance Directorate, UK Department of Health and Social Care

The products and services that Brovanture provides have been covered under the Government’s G-Cloud procurement framework since G-Cloud 8 and are fully covered in the latest G-Cloud 11 Digital Marketplace.  These include Cloud Hosting, Cloud Software and Cloud Support, (listed here) in the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) solution areas and are:

  • Oracle EPM Cloud Support
  • Planning in the Oracle EPM Cloud – formally Oracle Planning & Budgeting Cloud Service (PBCS) or Oracle Enterprise Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (EPBCS)
  • Consolidation and Close in the Oracle EPM Cloud – formally Oracle Financial Consolidation Cloud Service (FCCS)
  • Account Reconciliation in the Oracle EPM Cloud – formally Oracle Account Reconciliation Cloud Service (ARCS)
  • Hosted Managed Service

Gareth Rhys Williams, the UK government’s chief commercial officer, said the agreement shows the Cabinet Office’s commitment to working with “leading vendors” and investing in initiatives that will “unlock the value of innovative technology”.

Brovanture continues to work with all areas of UK Government, local and central, providing Cloud software applications, consulting, implementation and support services.  This agreement can only help strengthen and benefit the relationship between Brovanture and UK Government organisations.  If you would like to know more, please contact us by email or on 01483 685454.
