Background

UKCloud was a UK cloud provider that built its business on sovereign public-sector cloud contracts. It entered compulsory liquidation in October 2022, alongside its parent Virtual Infrastructure Group, after an earlier rescue attempt by Hadston 2 Limited failed. The Cabinet Office moved UKCloud's public-sector customers to other suppliers individually rather than naming a single successor.

Civo Navigate London 2026 cited UKCloud as an example of the fragility of prior UK sovereign-cloud attempts, against which Civo positioned its own edge data-centre programme, announced on 22 September 2026 .
