Cloud Centre of Excellence (CCoE)

The Cloud and Hosting Centre of Excellence supports the Frontline Productivity portfolio of work enabling cloud and hosting transformation activity.

The NHS cloud strategy has been in line with government's Cloud First policy, Technology Code of Practice. Where you have no choice but to host on-premises, use Crown Hosting, which represents the best option for government, allowing rapid contracting reducing risk and effort.

We are focused across the following core investment priorities:

• enable NHS providers to adopt and progress their Cloud First strategy to support continued digital transformation and support reduction in legacy technology
• enable NHS providers to adopt and achieve cloud services and compliance, removing organisation capability and capacity barriers
• enable NHS providers to adopt and achieve cloud first compliance

Through collaboration with industry partners, government, and providers, the CoE fosters innovation and best practice, ensuring NHS providers achieve cloud and hosting maturity, supporting the delivery of care and enabling locally led transformation.

We provide support and services to help NHS organisations adopt and optimise cloud hosting arrangements to drive consistency and efficiency for the wider NHS through a series of guilds and standards.

Through collaboration with industry partners, government, and providers, the centre of excellece fosters innovation and best practice, ensuring NHS providers achieve cloud and hosting maturity, supporting the delivery of care and enabling locally led transformation.

It develops common solutions, promotes best practice and acquires new skills that are then spread throughout the enterprise to increase the likelihood of adopting new ways of working to realise value and allow teams to become self-sufficient.

The centre of excellence develops common solutions, promotes best practice and provides support and a collaboration community to help NHS organisations adopt and optimise cloud and hosting arrangements to drive consistency and efficiency and is part of the NHS Frontline productivity programme.

This work will provide the critical underlying infrastructure to support and enable the digital transformation goals of the NHS 10 Year Plan.
