I hope 2025 has got off to a good start and that all your ducks are in a row, moving forward, drilling down, and circling back. I know mine are, and it&#8217;s quite a commotion. I&#8217;ve got ducks everywhere!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding-top: 15px; color: #4c4c4c; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; font-weight: normal;\" align=\"left\">On behalf of myself, and the team, we would like to extend a rather embarrassed belated welcome to our Business Licence users. The Monthly Briefing has always been very RMI contract heavy, so we only sent it to the people who were interested in such things. Since then though, we have added \u2018Matt&#8217;s Gardening Tips\u2019, \u2018Balsa Wood Craft Modelling and Me\u2019and \u2018Silent Karaoke\u2019. With this additional content we felt it had a wider appeal so wanted to drop it into your inbox. If you do hate it, you can unsubscribe at the bottom of the email for an introductory price of \u00a34.99 (just joking).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding-top: 15px; color: #4c4c4c; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; font-weight: normal;\" align=\"left\">I have returned to the office in Nagpur as we are girding our loins for the release of the enhanced \u2018Find a Tender Service\u2019, due to go live at 00.01 on February 24th as part of the changes to the Procurement Act 2023. We have seen a massive uptick in the number of tenders published this week as everyone tries to beat the deadline. It&#8217;s probably going to be very quiet for a while after the 24th.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding-top: 15px; color: #4c4c4c; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; font-weight: normal;\" align=\"left\">Although this will be a major change in the way procurement is managed, being data suppliers, our only concerns are, what does the new data look like, how quickly can we hook up to the API to extract it, and how long it will take to add the new fields and filters to Locarla? We intend to redesign the dashboard to add some of the new data output, such as the KPI&#8217;s, which look interesting. We&#8217;ll also add a document timeline to the contract notice panel so you can track all notices over the contract lifetime. Our main interest is in analysis so we&#8217;re keen to see what we can do with the social value information.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding-top: 15px; color: #4c4c4c; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; font-weight: normal;\" align=\"left\">We will be pulling out all the stops to give you an uninterrupted service and will have all the new features online lickety\u2011split.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding-top: 15px; color: #4c4c4c; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; font-weight: normal;\" align=\"left\">This month we have asked Mr. C GPT, our marketing manager, to pen a few words on why we can&#8217;t wait to dive into the new data that PA2023 will produce.
