Government Modernization · United Kingdom
G-Cloud 15.
CSM v4. CE Plus.
UK MoD CSM v4 went live 3 December 2025. The supply-chain pre-cert workflow is structurally identical to CMMC L2 readiness — same control families, same evidence taxonomy, different framework wrapper. G-Cloud 15 launches 2026 (£14B / 4-yr) with no UK domicile requirement to list. We run our CMMC playbook against UK MoD requirements as a single offering, two flags.
