     Anite Public Sector ('APS') wins £11m Australian contract over 5 years

Anite Group plc ('Anite' or 'the Group'), the European IT consultancy and
services company, today announces that its Anite Public Sector Division ('APS')
has secured an initial AUS$30.5m (over £11m) contract for the provision and
support of an integrated system for the State of Victoria's Office of Housing in
Melbourne, Australia. The contract commences immediately and will run for a
minimum of 5 years.

The Anite solution will replace the State of Victoria's existing in-house system
and provide an integrated suite of information systems that will be used to
manage all aspects of the housing services provided by the Office of Housing and
other social rented housing providers in the State. The contract includes the
(establishment) of a new call centre.


Commenting on this award, Anite's Chief Executive, John Hawkins said:

'It is pleasing that despite the current tough market conditions we are
continuing to win significant contract in the Public Sector. This win is strong
evidence of our capacity to integrate the solutions that we now offer as a
result of our recent acquisitions. Our innovative approach is based on Anite's
core Housing solution, tightly integrated with our mobile working, geographical
information, call centre, payments and financial systems.

This contract was won following a thorough evaluation and procurement process
that saw the Office of Housing evaluate and eliminate proposals from other
leading Housing System suppliers in both Australia and the United Kingdom. As a
direct result of winning this contract Anite will further expand its Public
Sector operation in Australia, which in addition to supporting our commitments
to the State of Victoria, will market and support the key elements of the Anite
Public Sector portfolio in Australia and to other targeted markets in the Asia
Pacific region.'
