                                  Third Quarter Update and Contract Wins

Allocate Software plc (AIM: ALL), the leading provider of workforce optimisation solutions announces  major
achievements in its third quarter ended 28 February 2010:

*       Third  acquisition makes Allocate the leading provider of workforce optimisation software  for
        Healthcare in Europe - Time Care AB is a Swedish-based provider of workforce management software with a
        strong focus on the Healthcare market

*       Ranked  No  1 e-Rostering and Temporary Staffing Solutions Provider by the London  Procurement

        procurement process for rostering software

Healthcare - continued growth

Allocate's presence in the Healthcare sector continued with very strong organic growth, including eight new
contracts  for  MAPS Healthroster, four new contracts to use e-Rostering for Doctors and  three  additional
customers signed to use the recently launched e-Expenses solution.

New contracts for MAPS Healthroster were signed with the following NHS Trusts:

*       Bexley NHS Care Trust

*       Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

*       Cornwall Partnership MHT

*       Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

*       Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust

*       South West Yorkshire Mental Health NHS Trust

*       Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust

*       Worcestershire Primary Care Trust

Allocate's position as the leading supplier of e-Rostering and workforce optimisation solutions to the  NHS
was  recognised  when it was selected by the London Procurement Programme ("LPP") on to its  new  Workforce
Optimisation Framework.  Allocate achieved the highest evaluation score in the two categories,  e-Rostering
Software  and  Staff Bank Software, against a functionality specification required by  the  LPP.   The  new
Framework will help to deliver considerable time savings to NHS Trusts embarking on e-Rostering projects as
it will reduce the lengthy procurement process and thereby contribute to significant cost savings.

Healthcare - extending the product portfolio for existing customers

The  following  NHS Trusts have selected e-Rostering for Doctors to manage the time of their medical  staff
and junior doctors more effectively:

*       East Cheshire NHS Trust

*       Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust

*       Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust

*       Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust

These  Trusts join a growing community of Trusts who are now using MAPS Healthroster to roster the time  of
multiple staffing groups. MAPS Healthroster is the only system that is proven to be able to accommodate and
manage  the  complexity of rota development for medical staff both at Junior Doctor and Consultant  levels,
improve the existing workforce processes, policy and management, and in particular streamline the rostering
process  for  doctors'  rotas which can be difficult to manage due to the European Working  Time  Directive
("EWTD"), annual leave and out of programme activities.

Customers  are  now starting to take advantage of the recently launched e-Expenses solution from  Allocate,
with  three  customers  selecting  the  product during the third  quarter.   e-Expenses  enables  staff  to
efficiently  prepare and submit their expense claims and streamlines the approval and payment  process  for
managers and payroll.

31  NHS  Trusts have now indicated their intent to upgrade to BSMS Trinity.  By combining the best  of  its
three  bank  /  temporary staffing products, MAPS Bank, BSMS and StaffBank, into one new, fully  functional
product,  Allocate has developed a best of breed solution for bank staff management in  NHS  Trusts.   BSMS
Trinity  improves the continuity of care, ease of reporting, saves time, and reduces errors while promoting
regulatory compliance and enhancing financial returns.

Healthcare - international expansion

Allocate  has  been awarded its first contract in New Zealand with Capital and Coast District Health  Board
("CCDHB") selecting MAPS Healthroster across all its services for Acute, Primary and Mental Health for  the
region  as well as specialist tertiary-level care to a wider population.  CCDHB is the leading provider  of
specialist  health  services in the central region of New Zealand and serves approximately  250,000  people
living in Wellington City and its suburbs.

In  partnership  with  MKM Consulting, Allocate has won its first Healthcare contract  in  Australia.   MKM
Consulting,  appointed  as  reseller of Allocate's MESaLS Equipment Loans software  in  Australia  and  New
Zealand,  has signed a contract with ACT Health to be the first customer to implement MESaLS in  Australia.
ACT  Health will deploy MESaLS in a new purpose built facility accommodating five separate services  within
the  Aged  Care & Rehabilitation Service.  MESaLS will be integrated with patient administration,  ordering
and  scanned medical record systems.  The solution is expected to deliver significant financial savings and
operational efficiencies in the processing and tracking of loan equipment.

On  15  December  2009,  Allocate completed its third acquisition, that of Time Care  AB,  a  Swedish-based
provider  of  workforce  management  software with a strong focus on the  Healthcare  market.   A  detailed
integration  plan  has already been agreed, which will see the two organisations fully  integrated  by  May
2011.   During the third quarter Time Care signed 17 new contracts.  Other significant developments in  the
region  include  the  introduction of two new modules for Time Care Pool - Automatic Cover  Staff  Booking,
which  helps  to  reduce  staffing  needs and increase service levels  and  opening  times,  and  Temporary
Vacancies,  which  enables the announcement of upcoming temporary vacancies.  In addition,  Time  Care  has
announced  the launch of Time Care Doctor, a web-based solution for timetabling that can easily be  handled
by both doctors and administrators.  The system was produced in collaboration with a number of hospitals in
Sweden and is used by a large number of clinics around the country.

Defence

Allocate  has  been awarded a major new Defence Services contract for the NATO Special Forces  Headquarters
unit ("NSHQ"), which will deliver new mission-important system capabilities to the existing MAPS deployment
within  NSHQ.  This new contract win reinforces Allocate's position as a leading software supplier to  NATO
and complements the existing J1 (Personnel) and J5 (Force Generation) installations.

Maritime

The  world's leading family entertainment company has now gone live with MAPS Maritime Suite for its cruise
line  business.   The  implementation  of MAPS Maritime will enable them  to  effectively  accommodate  the
expanding  shoreside crew operations as their fleet of ships increases.  The system will deliver  efficient
and effective job scheduling for both current and future new ships. Key to choosing MAPS Maritime Suite was
its  "out-of-the-box"  functionality, the flexibility to customise  the  solution  to  meet  their  precise
requirements, and the strength of Allocate as a reliable, professional and solid supplier.

Comment

Ian Bowles, Chief Executive Officer of Allocate commented:

"This  is  another strong quarter with solid execution against our strategic objectives across all sectors.
We continue to forge strong partnerships with NHS Trusts and our recent selection by the London Procurement
Programme  further demonstrates our continuing commitment to the NHS in the UK, where our applications  are
now the most commonly used solutions for e-Rostering and Temporary staff management.  Given the response of
NHS  Trusts to our two most recent modules, I hope that over time the same will be said of e-Rostering  for
Doctors and e-Expenses.

The  acquisition  of Time Care, completed on 15 December 2009, provides Allocate with a  strong  geographic
footprint in the Nordic region and I look forward to working with the management and staff of Time Care  to
drive  further  growth in the region that will reinforce our position as the European leader for  Workforce
Optimisation Solutions in Healthcare.  I am also particularly delighted to welcome our first customers  for
Healthcare  in  New Zealand, Capital & Coast District Health Board, and in Australia, ACT Health  Board  to
Allocate's  ever  growing  international user community.  I believe that  by  working  with  our  strategic
alliance partner, PricewaterhouseCoopers, the opportunity for other District Health Boards in the region to
realise significant benefits from deploying MAPS Healthroster will be realised."
