All information concerning buyers that have used the Digital Marketplace is in the public domain. This can be found at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/digital-marketplace-sales#g-cloud-sales

The number of public sector buyers (including arms length bodies, the wider public sector and third sector bodies) is continually changing, as certain bodies will dissolve while others are created.

The latest list of current and former public sector bodies is from June 2017 on the Office for National Statistics website and can be viewed at the following link: https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/nationalaccounts/uksectoraccounts/datasets/publicsectorclassificationguide
