The acquisition of IT services is a key function within any public or private organisation and the advent of cloud computing requires innovation in the way IT services are procured.
This report identifies and documents best practices for procuring cloud services in public research organisations. Because of the commonalities of the procurement practice in public administration, it was also included in the report.
