Contract Award
Solid State plc (AIM: SSP), the AIM listed supplier of specialist industrial/ruggedised computers, electronic components, antennae, microwave systems and battery power solutions to the electronics market, announces that its largest division, Steatite, has been selected by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) as the supplier of monitoring hardware for GPS offender tagging.
Final contract terms are expected to be agreed by 26 July 2014. It is currently anticipated that Steatite will be supplying initial products to the MoJ by the year end. Further quantities are then expected to be supplied, based on a minimum contract award for a three year period. The contract is not expected to have a significant impact in the current financial year as most deliveries are expected to take place in financial years ending 31 March 2016 and 2017. A further announcement will be made once the contract has been finalised.
The Solid State Group is made up of companies with a longstanding engineering heritage and a reputation for innovation. The Group has a track record of supplying Government departments with secure communication systems.
