Many existing procurement policies do not foresee provisioning services on-demand
Procuring innovative services requires new skills and competences
Developing a standalone test to verify the suitability and ROI is not easy
A standard legal and contractual framework for cloud services does not exist
Unsuccessful cloud tenders: no bidders replied

Successful procurement actions show that it is essential for the procuring organisation to possess a very good knowledge of cloudTechnical, legal, procurement and financial aspects of cloud computing must be addressed by the cloud procurement team who must work together and be involved at different stages of the procurement processBusiness needs vs technical specifications The adoption of cloud-based standards is encouraged Talk to the providers

Buying Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), combined with an independent performance test, is similar to purchasing traditional ICT goods. The level of confidence for SaaS/PaaS is not the same.The procurement process of cloud IaaS is shorter (compared to a traditional procurement of large-scale H/W resources)Joint procurement is a good practice to share risks & legal burdens, especially when procuring innovation!Joint procurement allows to aggregate demand and budget therefore more negotiation & customization power
