SEA WINS GBP25M CONTRACT WITH UK MOD
Cohort plc, the independent technology group, is pleased to
announce that its subsidiary Systems Engineering & Assessment
Limited ("SEA") has been awarded a new 10-year contract, with a
value of approximately GBP25 million, for the management and
upgrade of in-service sonar equipment for the UK Ministry of
Defence ("the MOD"). The contract will be revenue generating from
April 2021, with revenues spread evenly across the first seven
years, tailing off in years seven to ten.
Under the contract, won after a competitive tender, SEA will
maintain the Royal Navy's in-service sonar equipment, a service
that they have successfully provided for the past ten years. In
addition, the new contract provides for certain upgrades to the
equipment, ensuring the sonar systems remain operationally
available and ready for service at all times.
Andy Thomis, Cohort Chief Executive, said:
"This contract win clearly demonstrates SEA's strong capability
in sonar systems and our enduring relationship with the MOD and the
Royal Navy. Together with other recent contract wins across the
Group, this contract further underpins our order book and enhances
the visibility of future revenues."
