I guess the answer is no. No trades so far today. Past the half way mark of November and still no news. Perhaps I should add on three months as I do for mining company deadlines.

Some late interest today. Any chance of an RNS in the morning?

Looks like he had second thoughts on the burger.

[lr2] 14/11/2023 11:49

Noticed the seller. Guess he needed a Big Mac whatever the price.

Keeping your eye on things, LR2. Not sure it's going to bring in much revenue but good to know it's still being used. Thanks for 11091.

Noticed the big seller this morning. ;)

I can see why, Yump!

Never hear anything about Texrad these days but it's still being used in test cases.

Barclay out. Was he not corrupt enough?

WTF is happening to this country? Someone not an MP involved in the Greensill scandal made a Lord so he can give Sunak more tips on corruption maybe?

Come on Atkins buy some shares in FDBK then get Bleepa in all hospitals.

[lr2] 13/11/2023 13:13

Yes, thank you Digger. Very useful info.

[ged5] 13/11/2023 12:28

Thank you! I was getting 79.9 to buy but just over 75p to sell.

[digger2779] 13/11/2023 12:09

I've been quoted 78p to buy 5000 and 79.9 to buy 7000. I won't be doing either!!!

76.25 to sell btw

[lr2] 13/11/2023 11:41

I suspect they are just shares being moved from one account to another owned by the same person. If they aren't then they are sells.

[ged5] 13/11/2023 11:35

Are these 78p trades buys or sells?

[yump] 12/11/2023 14:10

Whatever the results of the Palantir trials, its unfortunate that the privacy issue is often exaggerated and triggers paranoia. The idea that a government/public owned organisation would be more secure is daft, because the risk is not necessarily from sold data but from rogue nations/hacking.

The systems failures in public services are always attributed to the private businesses, but from my limited experience, the project managers in the public organisations are not the best in class and there is a lack of coordination between the demands of different departments in constructing the specifications.

That’s great comfort LR2. Could be just spin.

[ged5] 12/11/2023 11:51

Palantir have been trying to get their hands on NHS data for several years. I posted this link on another thread back in July 2020:



Just seen the last part of your post so will have a look.

It doesn't sound promising for Palantir, Yump.

The following is from the Doctors' Association UK site.
_______________________________________________________

We have concerns about value for money, benefit to the NHS and effectiveness of the FDP. Please address these concerns during a pause.

Of the pilots that ran, 11 of the 36 were suspended or paused in March. According to the FDP FAQ webpage, only one has restarted. We are concerned that such a large amount of money could be spent on a product that seems to have failed in approximately one third of its test cases.

Colleagues at some of the pilot trusts reported troubling details about the pilots. Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital reported that the Palantir pilot: “didn’t meet our needs”. The New York Times reported that Palantir’s Foundry at Milton Keynes University Hospital Trust, didn’t work with the hospital’s systems, forcing staff to enter data manually.

Lastly, we understand that the directors from pilot trusts were recently asked by NHS executives to sign a letter supporting the FDP. Only 16 officials signed, suggesting most trusts who trialled Foundry did not feel able to endorse the FDP. Please provide more information about these failed pilots, guidance on what lessons have been learned and assurances that this new system will work as it needs to for patients.

Ged / Duc, if you read this, note the reference to the Milton Keynes University Hospital Trust and my cryptic post #11051. Will we be hearing more about Milton Keynes soon?

[yump] 12/11/2023 10:01

Thanks - yes looks much the same.

[lr2] 11/11/2023 23:03

More money available for Bleepa perhaps?

Yump, I had a bit of time on my hands. This was the link LR2 gave in post 10548. First glance it looks the same wording.

[yump] 09/11/2023 13:37

I’ll have a look back. Just wondering if the latest wording is a bit more specific than the original. Ie if they actually want fdbk, then it would be perfectly ok to make the brief such that time is not wasted by other businesses tendering when they don’t meet all the criteria. A small point really.

[ged5] 09/11/2023 09:53

Ducatiman, thanks to Bill for pointing out that it was mentioned in a link given in the Bidstack document.

II.2.14) Additional information: Whilst the procurement is ongoing, the Trust intends to enter into a short contract extension with its incumbent CDC pilot provider to ensure ongoing patient care. Service continuation is vital for the Trust and its patients.



Yump a link was almost certainly given earlier on this thread but whether it still works I've no idea. Not sure why you want it.

[yump] 09/11/2023 09:17

Anyone got a link to the original procurement note from QV - I wonder if the wording is different now.

[ducatiman] 08/11/2023 17:23

If it’s “critical̶1; for Queen Victoria CDC then surely it must also be critical for the other 160 CDCs.
Ged, perhaps the winning bidder will fill the gap as a goodwill gesture.
