Journeo plc

("Journeo", "Company" or "the Group")

Framework Agreement - Transport Technology and Associated Services (TTAS).

Journeo plc (AIM: JNEO), the information systems and transport technical services group, is pleased announce that it has been awarded a framework agreement with Crown Commercial Services.

The framework has an initial two-year term with the option of up to two additional years extension.

The framework allows the company to be considered for call-off contracts and direct catalogue-style purchasing, providing a procurement route for Local Authority and Government organisations in England and the devolved administrations in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, to place orders directly for transport and pedestrian control, transport data services and sustainable transport technologies.  

Crown Commercial Service is an executive agency and trading fund of the Cabinet Office of the UK Government, responsible for managing the procurement of common goods and services, increasing savings for the taxpayer by centralising buying requirements, and leading on procurement policy on behalf of the government.

Russ Singleton, Chief Executive of Journeo plc, commented: "Securing a place on the TTAS framework was an important objective as we were not on the predecessor framework, where we supplied over £4m of our technology through Tier-1 framework holders. TTAS provides local authorities and Government organisations direct access to our cloud-based bus, rail and coach applications; and our low-power, off-grid passenger information systems."

A digital copy of this announcement will be available on the Group's website: www.journeo.com.
