Update on Middle East Light Rail Bids

Serco Group plc
LEI: 549300PT2CIHYN5GWJ21
The tendering process for the Middle East rail opportunities is
taking much longer than anticipated, and we have decided to stand
down our bidding teams and redirect efforts elsewhere. Together,
these bids represented an aggregate GBP2.5bn of the GBP7.9bn
pipeline of larger new bid opportunities as disclosed at the time
of reporting Serco's half year results, and, unless the situation
were to change, these bids will no longer be part of the next
pipeline update that will be reported within our full year
results.
