Hi all. One planned exit definitely happened today!
With mixed feelings, it's goodbye to AGMA and hello to a new job at @ManCityCouncil on Monday. Chris and Paul will be tweeting from here in future - be nice! See you all soon... I'll be on @prschofield from now on.

So there is a Brexit state of readiness self-assessment tool available from the Cabinet Office - I think that it may be worth a look.....

[iNetwork @theinetwork]

Happy to be holding a Brexit Roundtable discussion with colleagues from @Cabinet today. Thank you @STARProcurement for hosting us at Trafford Town Hall & chaired by @AGMAprocurement

@BeingTomGorman cf Sunderland after the first 5 games of their last few seasons in the premier league....

@mattjackson170 @BlueCakery Now just need to clear the garage and you'll have space to park the bentley....

[AGMA Procurement Hub @AGMAprocurement]

@RichSmiths @benunsworth @mcaino @steve1skelton @davebriggs Thanks Richard. I'll have a look. Cheers

[AGMA Procurement Hub @AGMAprocurement]

@benunsworth @mcaino @steve1skelton @davebriggs @RichSmiths Me too - are you able to share?

[AGMA Procurement Hub @AGMAprocurement]

@Ox1Digital @benunsworth @steve1skelton @davebriggs The one we use in the NW has improved over the years but I agree that if we were starting from scratch now, we'd probably do it differently. Principle of issuing all tenders in a single portal is valued by suppliers so not sure we'd move away from that.

[AGMA Procurement Hub @AGMAprocurement]

@steve1skelton @benunsworth @davebriggs In so many ways Steve! Hopefully you weren't dissing regional either now that you're an islander... ;-)

[AGMA Procurement Hub @AGMAprocurement]

@steve1skelton @davebriggs @benunsworth Thanks for the tag Steve. Shame that they are all apparently terrible - my experience is that they are good and getting better but happy to take feedback on board. DM me Dave and Ben if you'd like to share your experience.. "bad old e-gov days" were a means towards progress...

A Mobike isn't just for Christmas....

[AGMA Procurement Hub @AGMAprocurement]

Phil's just finished his slides and now he's taking us through them... How we are going further faster in GM. #PeopleandPlace @theinetwork

Future of Networking in government session now starting. Mark Smith from GDS telling us about how to move away from PSN and into the cloudy future. #peopleandplace @theinetwork winter conference.

[AGMA Procurement Hub @AGMAprocurement]

Great to catch up with Emma @germinates and Vimla at today's @theinetwork conference. How many new ideas can you cram into a minute? Answer - loads! Made me late for Nichola's talk about sharks... #peopleandplace

[AGMA Procurement Hub @AGMAprocurement]

Now learning about the Joys of Collaboration from Nichola of STAR. #peopleandplace @theinetwork winter conference.

[AGMA Procurement Hub @AGMAprocurement]

Fashionably late start to the iNetwork winter conference. Looking forward to another day of networking and finding out about new things. @theinetwork #PeopleandPlace

[AGMA Procurement Hub @AGMAprocurement]

Thanks @Artbattlemcr for putting on a great show. #Antz some really compelling evidence that Social Value makes a massive difference and changes lives. Bravo to Tier 1, Atos and Unilever and to the artists.

[AGMA Procurement Hub @AGMAprocurement]

Thanks to the Antz network for the invite to an Art Battle. Great idea for a networking event. Lots of energy and new contacts. #antz #Socialvalue

Interesting bit of "autocorrect" in there. Hope applicants check their spelling before uploading their CVs.. ;-)
