Next Gen GO-LIVE

*Please distribute this bulletin appropriately within your firm*

Latest update on go-live

In the days leading up to the Next Gen platform being made available to the market on the 6 March, we are undertaking the final checks.

The quality standards of PPL Next Gen are very high and we are in a strong position to go live on Monday 6 March.  This allows the market to finalise their preparations and be ready to commence trading with confidence.

We continue to work with a small number of brokers and corresponding underwriters to place a number of risks during the first few weeks in order to exercise the platform end-to-end.

** IMPORTANT ** Market Readiness feedback form

Thank you to all the firms that have returned their feedback forms so far. We will be following up with any outstanding responses from Monday.

Your feedback is important to your trading partners in the market and as promised, the Carrier responses will be shared on the PPL website to give the market visibility.
