                           ('IDOX' or the 'Company')


                             Major New Contract Win


IDOX plc (AIM : IDOX), the supplier of software and services to the UK public
sector, today  announces the signing of a major contract with the Scottish
Government worth up to £2.3 million over the first three years.

IDOX's Electronic Document and Records Management software and Web Publication
software will be implemented, as part of a national planning reform programme,
across 16 Planning Authorities in Scotland. This will enable authorities to
capture and publish planning applications and associated documents online to
provide improved public engagement and efficiency in the planning process. In
making this decision, these authorities will be amongst 332 UK authorities using
IDOX Software products, of which 145 are already using existing e-planning
solutions.

The e-planning programme will deliver a step change in the way that Planning
services are delivered in Scotland.  The programme consists of four phases of
which this contract, Online Planning Information Systems, is the second. IDOX is
already delivering technology for the Scottish Online Planning Applications and
Appeals System, the first phase of the programme.

As a result of IDOX's delivery to the programme, members of the public will be
able to submit and monitor applications online, and local authorities will be
able to publish them and invite public representation during the application
process. The proven technology underpinning this contract has already helped to
transform business processes in Local Government and delivered cost savings and
efficiency benefits.


Richard Kellett-Clarke, CEO of IDOX, said,

'This contract with the Scottish Government marks a major milestone in the
continuing development of IDOX as a significant provider of innovative software
solutions linking government departments and the public via the web. This
contract was won in open tender against much larger established software and
service providers and is by far the largest such agreement ever won by the
company.

The contract will be delivered throughout the 2008 and 2009 financial years with
maintenance revenue continuous thereafter. The Board expects to be updating
shareholders in early May 2008 on the Company's current trading and prospects
following the end of the first half of the current financial year.'
