Suppliers should disregard the draft documents in this blog post, they have been updated in another blog post.
In February 2017, the Government Digital Service (GDS) and the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) will open the second iteration of Digital Outcomes and Specialists, giving more suppliers the opportunity to sell their services.

I'm a bit confused: does this relate to G-Cloud? Is this just for a subset of suppliers? Thanks.
