When you are in hospital looking at expensive gear in theatre ( let's hope they sedate you before cutting anything!)...think that maybe ( only maybe) the purchase is due to the careful efforts of ATUK helping the NHS....or not?

Investors appear to have been happy to break my first rule -pay no more than 50p for AIM-stock - for it started at 2005 at 65p
Today it's about 2p with a certainty early investors will be diluted at maybe 1p, so in effect the Money-bags are buying your company for almost a hundredth of the price you paid (allowing for spread, charges etc.).

My second rule has thus been created...don't invest in AIM.

12.75p +3.375p

@UK's software supports National Audit Office

Today the National Audit Office has published a procurement report on consumables buying within the NHS entitled "The procurement of consumables by NHS hospital trusts." The report is available from the National Audit Office website at www.nao.org.uk.

indeed cielo - and there is plenty more in the pipeline- each news item / win will push atuk higher & higher - imo this will be a general northerly climb for the rest of this year with th eobvious dips along the way as usual

Don't know about that, I've just bought in that's usually the kiss of death :-)

confidence maggie.....

NHS trusts need to learn from the private sector to improve their purchasing processes to get better value for money, it has been claimed.

The CBI has urged trusts to "get more business-like" and make sure they are using their combined purchasing power to pay less for goods and services.

It follows a National Audit Office report on procurement processes at NHS acute and foundation trusts that identified a potential 500 million worth of savings to be made.

The study said trusts' buying of everyday medical supplies delivers "poor value for money" and called for greater collaboration to help the NHS spend less.

"Achieving economies of scale will go some way towards delivering savings of 15-20 billion by 2015," said CBI head of public services reform Elizabeth Fells.

She went on to say that "the best provider should be able to compete to deliver NHS services, whether they are from the public, private or third sector".

@UK (LON:ATUK, 9.375p, 6.58m) The report by the UK Government National Audit Office (NAO) that highlighted significant savings within the NHS should better purchasing strategies be adopted was supported by @UK providing the analysis services using the groups SpendInsight Service. Clearly this could lead to further work with both the Government and commercial clients. We move the group from a sell (at 14.25p with a 10p fair value on 21/1/11) to a HOLD. (Julian Tolley)

dont follow tb personally but hey ho....

'Why small caps look set to rocket this year By Tom Bulford

Who will be the share heroes of 2011?

So it is no surprise to see natural resource shares amongst the early movers in 2010. Roxi Petroleum (LON:RXP), Beowulf Mining (LON:BEM), Amur Minerals (LON:AMC), Tertiary Minerals (LON:TYM), Namibian Resources (LON:NBR) and Atlantic Coal (LON:ATC) have already made strong gains.

Bio-energy play Viridas (LON:VIR) is amongst the leaders as is Third Quad Capital (LON:TQC), which has announced a possible sale of its software business.

Distressed lender Davenham Group (LON:DAV) has seen its shares bounce on the back of a possible financial reconstruction while Crosby Asset Management (LON:CSB) is changing its spots to become an investor in natural resources.

Finally and intriguingly barging its way into the leading group is @UK Ltd (LON:ATUK), whose software enables public sector bodies to both save money and prove their green credentials.

eCommerce Marketplace Contract Win

@UK platform selected for leading shared procurement service


@UK, (AIM: ATUK) the provider of eProcurement and eCommerce software, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract to provide an eCommerce Marketplace to a local authority and NHS Services partnership.


This was the first local authority and primary care trust to form a partnership, with a single chief executive and joint management team. It was set up in 2008, and @UK PLC has won the contract to provide them with a single system for electronic procurement.


Ronald Duncan Chairman of @UK PLC commented, "We have worked extensively with individual Local Government and NHS organisations and the efficiencies of a 'joined up' approach are clear. We therefore expect this segment of the market to grow significantly as part of the NHS restructuring and believe we are well positioned as the only company which is a market leader in both sectors to benefit from this growth."
