@UK wins place in all four lots of the National Framework for Social Care eMarketplaces

@UK PLC (AIM:ATUK.L), the cloud ecommerce marketplace, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a framework agreement in all four lots of the National Framework for Social Care eMarketplaces, from which local authorities will be able to select suppliers for their Social Care marketplaces.

The aim of the National Framework for Social Care eMarketplace is to provide the infrastructure to deliver the Government's personalisation agenda, through an online marketplace which simplifies the complexities of social care purchasing so that individuals can purchase their own care. The @UK system is the only system that is fully integrated into the credit card network and able to store credit card details within the marketplace. This means that it fully meets with the Government's personalisation requirement as individuals using the @UK system will be able to carry out the whole process of social care purchasing, from review and selection of services through to payment. This is important because the target of 100% individual budgets has been reduced by the Government to 70% by April 2013, and the @UK Care Marketplace is believed to be the only system currently available that fully meets the requirements.

As previously announced, @UK currently has two pilot social care emarketplaces running at Hertfordshire County Council and Peterborough City Council, and believes its position in all four lots of the National Framework should help secure additional projects with further councils.

Serco has used the @UK marketplace to deliver its guarantee of 25% savings in social care for Hertfordshire County Council.

@UK believes the size of this market opportunity is significant. The Board believes that there are 160 local authorities that need to implement a care marketplace as part of the move to individual budgets by April 2013. The potential earnings range from a care directory at £20,000 to a fully integrated marketplace at £500,000, giving a potential market size of approximately £80 million.

Ronald Duncan, Executive Chairman of @UKsaid:

"We are delighted that our fully integrated marketplace has once again been named in all four lots of a national framework, this time for the provision of social care marketplaces. As the first to market with a fully integrated system that has the security to both store patient records and make card payments, our solutions have a significant competitive advantage and therefore we are confident in wining further work in the coming months."
