MBEs - are enhancements to the product where you have a say in the selection process as the result of the votes you submit.

MBE VOTING NEW - Update from SES
The next MBE list for voting will appear here when available.

We have been advised by Sage that there is currently a backlog of outstanding MBEs to be delivered. Below is a statement from Sage about the current status:

"Sage are committed to continuing development of MBEs and to the voting process, however you will understand that we need to maintain a balance between these and more general development work. As a result, we are currently reviewing the resource allocated to MBE development and incorporating this into the Line 500 Roadmap. We still have a number of outstanding MBEs to be scheduled and anticipate that we will be issuing the next voting list towards the end of the year."
