Well, I often see it in the context of pubic bodies, but it fits with
your explanation. For example:

https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/community/osor/news/improve-it-security-ep-demands-open-source

So it would mean a "private cloud" at the scale of their institutions
(European Parliament..) ? Self hosted free software cloud solutions
would be more appropriate then..

To answer my own question, I found something about standardisation:
