Vascular, good timing on the link for anyone who needs a quick reminder while we are parked up having a coffee.

bullbear89 - Its something that crossed my mind as well. I come from this world, started 4 websites in 99 (still not an old boy) and this IMO is just part of the illusion. I had a product once, don't know if anyone remembers Billy Talking Fish, anyway we used to hammer away on FB/Twitter/SM (Back in the day VB Bulletins was where the action was) to create a 'show' Sales is essentially believing in the product, but more importantly creating 'hype' around it. Whether that is real or not, its not important initially- Buyers will want to see results across the board when they use social media/Google searches etc. The more a buyer sees the more the salesman will have a chance of selling, be the first in the market in your arena etc etc. Once you have a contract or 2 with big players, say Boots for this example the ball goes down the hill, rather than being pushed up by the owners.

I would expect them to do PR newswire releases and get editors filling up there unsold spaces in newspapers, mags etc etc. Or invest 50K in a PR firm and get themeslves on TV/Radio for a few days. I would also add, between these two BoD's, there is a lot of experience, I would expect this to be a walk in the park considering the product and where we are at with CV19.

The UK Rapid Test Consortium
The UK Rapid Test Consortium (UK-RTC), which comprises the University of Oxford, Abingdon Health, Omega Diagnostics, BBI Solutions and CIGA Healthcare, has been launched to develop and manufacture millions of new COVID-19 antibody tests to determine someone’s immunity after contracting the virus.

So a 100 UK companies went for the tender, as you scroll down you can see the (yes) and (no) tells us who is in the game.

V.2.2)Information about tenders

Safy, I have gone through it....but I have to say, after 5 months in this I am bit excited...not sure if I am reading what I am reading if you know what I mean. IMO this is it, now we can rock n roll.

Korda, good spot. If this is not real I will go and barbeque my flip flop, add so red sause and share it with my dog.

At the end of the document:

Additional information:

Increase Value to GBP 20 bn

While there is no commitment to any value of spend on a framework agreement it has become apparent since contract notice publication that spend is likely to exceed the estimated framework value stated in the contract notice.

This is mainly due to the pandemic situation resulting in an immediate overall increased spend in support of Covid-19 testing programme. Future value of spend and procurement route for this programme over the term of the framework agreement cannot be accurately forecast at the time of award publication and the revised value published includes a high-end estimate of this value.

In addition, there are further impacts of Covid-19 on the pathology and diagnostics market which may result in an overall increase in spend in the market as demand for services increases. This impact cannot be accurately forecast at the time of award and the revised value published included a high-end estimate of this value.

The revised value represents the total value of contracts that could be awarded under the framework during its term and takes into account that these contracts are likely to be multi-year.

I have read, then re-read it. Looks like to me two BIG YES YES - This looks, excuse my language, bloody serious stuff.

Dear Ministers - Give us the contract (RMS/P2F) and we will manufacture masks for every household in the UK. This can coincide with the vaccine or tests or not - Bear in mind operation Moonshot and home testing.

Here are some numbers, it's not 100% precise but gives you a flavour of what is possible. I think the BoD are on the ball and can get in front of the main players in the UK Gov, I am pretty sure the BoD realize this is a once in a lifetime product. As shareholders we must believe they are on top of the game and are going to smash this over the next 3/6 months onwards.

There are 60+ million people in the UK, each one needs a mask everyday. 30 masks per month, per person. Through the data bases of councils they have the household addresses + people per household, delivery to each household via Royal Mail. Be better for us that for the next 6/12 months a temporary law is introduced where you must wear a mask, repeats are KINGS!

60 million (people) x 30 masks per month = 1.8 Billion Per Month

12 months x 1.8 billion = 21.6 Billion Masks Per Year.

Profit After Costs - Monthly
3p Profit x 1.8 Billion = £5.4 Million
5p Profit x 1.8 Billion = £9 Million
10p Profit x 1.8 Billion = £18 Million

Profit - Year 1
3p = £5.4 Million x 12 = £64.8 Million
5p = £9 Million x 12 = £108 Million
10p = £18 Billion x 12 = £216 Million

This includes no licensing to other countries or distribution or add ons, gloves, gym matts etc..all disposable, all repeat orders.

£22 Billion Tender
33000000 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products
Must be masks, personal care products.

They need to do some downloads/PDF's on their site so shareholders etc can share on social media, its a decent graphic so let us use it to promote. I will drop them a mail, see if they can knock up a few.

Been reading this stuff today after I came across the Proffessor this morning, scroll down, lots of dates/links...

euclid55, you got it, that is the guy.

Spent a few hours going down rabbit holes today, the use of applications is going to be immense. I am sure most haven't even thought of what this tech can do, my half brain cell has been digesting articles on where this can go.

One thing is for **** sure, as long as RMS/BRH on the ball this is going to be thunder road of a trip.

P2F uses/or used a company called Flexotronix Limited, the director of that company is a a guy called Proffessor R Stephens. He was hired as a consultant/or could be more invovled at this stage by P2F, as the Proffessor specialises in Smart Materials and Devices. His CV is impressive, as well as specialising in 'Nano-electrospray of nanomaterials and biomolecules for advanced functional coatings, patterned and precision surfaces'

I would hope the masks are phase 1, there seems to be a vast amount of applications for the textile industy.

Good find tomvisual, I hadn't seen that before. Flexotronix Limited have a Proffessor R Stephens as a director, just been reading about him. He is a Professor in Smart Materials and Devices. His CV is impressive, specializes in 'Nano-electrospray of nanomaterials and biomolecules for advanced functional coatings, patterned and precision surfaces'

tomvisual, 'covid killer face mask' you need to get on their PR team (wonder if the URL is available) like your thinking.

spacetec, that is a Q. 60 + million in the UK - Days use per mask. 1 machine = 5 million, 5 machines = 25 million, 10 machines = 50 million. Sports arenas, lets take the Arsenal, 60,000 per game - Branded masks. Good managment team, machines are not expensive, easy to operate, low running costs.

Its a perfect storm, all the actors have arrived - Time for some action, SP can do whatever the turnaround of masks alone, not mention disposalbe gloves nor the rest of the companies USP's.

Probably should of closed weeks ago, as per the scientists advise. Difficult road with large sways of the UK not as bad as others, plus Wales etc making their own rules., plus peoples mental health and jobs. Probably a considertion to go now due to Christmas, release the masses on the 2nd Dec/release the testing and most will be able to visit XYZ for the Christmas period. I would think the UK Gov know that is something that most people will do, so I suspect this part was discussed.

Bagpu55, this was always going to be a concern. Legally, as the framework is set out, they can't. Nor can Boots, Tescos etc. But, laws are made by man, and lawyers are made by god (I was told that in a court room once) and companies such as Super Drug etc have legal teams with top notch barristers. There will be many on this board who possible think there is no way round this legal framework, but in my experience they/the lawyers of the said companies will be working a way round this, or have I would suspect have done so.

Now they will lobby the MP's to get the change made to the law, or have done, or just turn around and say, 'see you in court' if we don't get approval. Goverment won't want the publicity for this.

MHRA are a powerful body, they have as much if not more power than the VAT man, but they like the small fry, like the tax man, easy to get and fine. Just remember CBD, MHRA was all over this, most if not all small companies closed...then Holland & Barret started selling CBD and guess what happened, NADA! That MHRA law is still in place, how many companies sell CBD, hundreds.

As long as they buy from a UK manufacture (ODX) who cares, we want them to crack on and get this mess sorted out.
