Microsoft has been accused of leaving its SME IT supplier partners in the dark over a decision to ban the resale of its cloud services though a newly-launched government procurement framework.
More than a week has passed since Computer Weekly revealed that Microsoft had exercised its right to prevent reselling of its services via third-parties through the UK government’s Cloud Compute 2 framework.
The decision has resulted in at least half a dozen pure-play Microsoft reseller partners being denied a place on the £1.35bn purchasing agreement.
