Looks like CloudCoCo ( they're listed in Lot 4 - Anything as a service ), if you click on the link below, have secured another contract with YPO on their £200m framework for the provision of hardware, software and associated services, from the supply of ICT equipment and applications through to secure hardware asset destruction.

This appears to be in addition to YPO's £400m Data Centres, Maintenance Cloud Hosting and Security framework, where CloudCoCo are listed on Lot's 5 & 10...Ker-Ching!!! Gla ;-)

Published on 19 August 2019

YPO, one of the UK’s largest publicly-owned buying organisation, has announced the launch of its Data Centres, Maintenance Cloud Hosting and Security framework for the public sector.

The new framework has been created to ensure data can be stored compliantly and accessed across several locations - either on premise, off premise or via the cloud. Utilising data centres and cloud technology is expected to support organisation within local government and education sectors, especially those operating across large estates and multiple sites.

The framework, estimated to have a total value of £400m, is now live and will run until 31 July 2023.

The arrangement is not meant to be exclusive, but YPO approved nine suppliers to build public sector data centres. Three of them were small enough to be classed officially as SMEs: Keysource, Sudlows and Nigsun. The others were 2bm, Insight Direct, Powercube, and Workplace Technology. It gave 11 companies first shake on running co-location data centres for public bodies: Six Degrees, SCC, Daisy, Razorblue, Keysource, Phoenix, CloudCoCo, Redcentric, SunGard, UKCloud, and Zsah.

This is going to bounce BIG tomorrow....Tick Tock Boom!!! ;-)

2p plus at opening on the cards....Gla Holders.....CLCO's formal listing coming soon!!! ;-)

Just clocked in and extremely excited....BGF out and cleared out of options, and all forward sold hence the drop in sp to encourage the rapid buying of their 50m and so no overhang when CLCO formally lists, and then the icing on the cake with MXP increasing their holding....get ready for a sudden and significant re--rate along with news on the timetable of CLCO's listing when disclosure of material news on their TWO VERY LARGE AND EXCITING NEW CLIENT CONTRACTS will undoubtedly follow. Gla holders On and Up!!! :-)

One would imaginge that the CloudCoCo Group will want BGF cleared out before their formal listing under CLCO , by which time we can look forward to diclosure of material news etc which should see a significant re-rate imho....and so the current bargain low sp offers a great opportunity to top up and/or buy in....On and Up!!! :-)

4 x 4.5m sells by the looks of it , hopefully BGF still off loading their options....this should re-rate accordingly when they're done...and news for CLCO's listing timetable anytime noe. Gla :-)

It was definitely a horror show on Friday, and so fingers crossed that BGF were forward selling the rest of their options, and pi's were buying them UP at the knock down basement bargain price we witnessed...Gla Holders....On and UP!!! ;-)

The team at CloudCoCo wish you a Happy Halloween for 2019.

IT suppliers who don't care about their employees or are disappointing their customers then you'd do well to be afraid as we're coming for you.

The chart looks like someone's pulled an elastic band down as far as it will go, fingers crossed it's going to look like someone's let go of it on Monday. Gla ;-)

Sarah Sesum, category manager for ICT at YPO, said: "We're excited to be bringing the latest data technology to the public sector and know the significant benefits this can bring.

"Organisations in local government and education sectors will often naturally span large estates so it is integral that their data can be stored effectively and can be accessed in a timely manner. Working closely with our supplies, we intend to provide tailored data solutions for many years to come."

Name: Robyn Lamport-Rann

Position: Category Buyer - ICT

How long have you been working for YPO? Six years

What do you like the most about YPO?

YPO is a great organisation who believes and lives by its values, which I love. It’s great to be part of a company who not only cares about the best interests of our customer by offering best value and creating savings, but also about their staff, providing many opportunities for development and progression.

What are your main responsibilities?

I work closely alongside the other members of the IT services team to develop and manage a catalogue of frameworks covering areas such as technology hardware, software and service solutions. One of my main roles is to help customers by offering advice and compliant market routes for them to use, to help make their procurement a smooth and easy process. I also enjoy building relationships with our suppliers to ensure we are in touch with the latest innovations and don't miss out on any new opportunities.

...................................

Zoe Morgan-Kriek, ICT category buyer at YPO added: “YPO is delighted to announce the launch of a brand-new framework to its 19,000 public sector customers. This is different to any other compliant route to market. We know that there are initiatives currently for public sector organisations to move to the cloud -– well we now have a range of suppliers who can support this.

“The pure technology group demonstrated its passion to be one of the spearheads for digital transformation into the public sector and has been instrumental in supporting us in the design process of this new framework. We’re looking forward to developing our partnership even further across the 00944 datacentres, maintenance, cloud hosting and security framework.”

The framework is designed to meet the needs of all public sector organisations, which includes YPO’s internal requirements, and has an estimated total value of £400m.

The new enterprise the CloudCoCo Group is debt free , AD4 has existing sales revenues over £8m and CloudCoCo won almost £4m in new contracts in their first year of trading up to April 2019 and announced in September that they are one of 32 companies given fast track status of a share of the £400m YPO public sector data center network and are one of 11 out of the 32 given first shake on running co-location data centres for public bodies, and so potentially their share of £400m could be more than most, and highly significant. They also have been given supplier status on the Government's G-Cloud 11 framework which could aslo provide significant business revenues and have confirmed they have news on two NEW VERY LARGE AND EXCITING NEW CLIENT CONTRACTS to be announced. so watch this space. Gl :-)

ps fingers crossed that more deals were secured at Thursday's YPO meet the buyers event. ;-)

..................................

YPO are holding a launch event at its HQ in Wakefield on 24th October 2019 giving buyers an opportunity to engage with all suppliers on the framework in one place on one day.

This will be a key framework for many public sector organisations, especially those in local government and education where YPO is particularly strong, as they look to upgrade their infrastructure and accelerate their cloud ambitions.

Sarah Sesum, Category Manager for ICT at YPO, said:

Adept4 plc

("Adept4" or the "Company")

Exercise of Options, Issue of Equity and Total Voting Rights

Adept4 (AIM: AD4), the AIM quoted provider of IT as a Service, announces that on 22 October 2019, it received from BGF Investments L.P. ("BGF") a notice of exercise of options held over 12,500,000 ordinary shares of 1 penny each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). The options were exercised at a price of 0.35 pence per share in accordance with the terms of the agreement between the Company and BGF dated 21 October 2019 ("Option Agreement"), raising gross proceeds for the Company of GBP43,750. Following receipt of the subscription monies from BGF today, the Company has allotted and issued 12,500,000 Ordinary Shares to BGF.

Further details of the Option Agreement are provided in paragraph 6 of the Company's

02 October 2019 announcement, a copy of which is available to view on the Company's website at https://www.adept4.co.uk/investors/regulatory-news.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for 12,500,000 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that trading in the new Ordinary Shares will commence on AIM at 08.00 a.m. on or around 31 October 2019.

Following Admission, the Company will have 457,725,686 Ordinary Shares each carrying one voting right in issue. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. The total number of voting rights is therefore 457,725,686. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Ah, it might be Cannacord, they've been dumping AIM shares ever since they bought out Hargreaves Hale and their share portfolio which was mainly AIM stocks, Hargreaves Hale were originally a Major Shareholder of AD4...Gla :-)

Lol and so the 12.5m trade wasn't Gresham's....they 're still holding their 22.7m but have notified the market of their reduced % on the new enlarged share capital of CLCO.....mire to come. Gla :-)
