AWS saw direct sales hit £253 million in fiscal year 2022/23, according to figures from public sector spending researcher Tussell. Although AWS pocketed the largest increase among revenue raked in by strategic suppliers to UK government, it was a long way behind the leaders, largely construction and defense firms. Kier, for example, accrued £1.4 billion in revenue over the same period.
The leading tech supplier was Capital, whose revenue remained flat at £923 million. Atos was the second tech supplier, with £850 million, up 21 percent on the previous year.
Oracle and Microsoft also took a dramatically bigger slice of direct revenue from the government. The Redmond software giant won £114 million in direct revenue, up 36 percent, while Big Red got £290 million revenue, up 14 percent.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
