    AWARD OF CONTRACTS


    Manpower Software plc is delighted to announce that the following thirteen healthcare customers have awarded new contracts during the
Company's second quarter ended 30 November 2008 for the purchase of MAPS Healthroster, the electronic rostering solution.

UK NHS Trusts:

    *     North Wales NHS Trust (formally Conwy & Denbighshire NHS Trust) 
    *     East Cheshire NHS Trust
    *     Epsom & St. Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust
    *     South Essex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
    *     United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust
    *     Eastern and Coastal Kent NHS Primary Care Trust
    *     Newham NHS Primary Care Trust
    *     Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust
    *     University Hospital of North Staffordshire NHS Trust
    *     Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
    *     Somerset Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
    Private Medical Facilities:

    *     Boston University Radiology Associates, USA (first US customer)
    *     Sunway Medical Centre, Malaysia (first Malaysian customer)

    These awards mean 21 new customers have signed contracts for MAPS Healthroster in the current financial year (i.e. since 1 June 2008). 
MAPS Healthroster has now been selected by 59 NHS Trusts, compared with 26 this time last year.  

    Key to choosing MAPS Healthroster is its ability to provide a better understanding of demand versus supply of clinical staff, how this
is balanced against efficient use of budgets and how it helps reduce the administrative burden for HR, clinical and payroll staff.

    In addition to the new customers for MAPS Healthroster, Manpower Software is also pleased to announce three new customers for its market
leading Bank Staff Management Solution (BSMS), the temporary staffing solution.  

    *     Lothian NHS Board
    *     Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership
    *     Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust 

    The award of these contracts brings the total number of NHS Trusts which have selected BSMS to 106. The company's combined Healthcare
customer base has now reached over 150 NHS Trusts in the UK and three Private Healthcare providers (of which two are overseas).

    Commenting, Ian Bowles, Chief Executive Officer said: "We have had an outstanding second quarter in respect of our focus on the UK NHS
and the broader global healthcare markets.  The closure of contracts with Sunway Medical Centre and Boston University Radiology Associates
represent significant milestones in the Company's effort to extend its global reach for workforce optimisation and electronic rostering
solutions.  All these wins reinforce our domain expertise and will allow us to grow revenues in the global Healthcare market over the coming
years. Our strategic partnerships with PWC & ACS Healthcare Solutions mean our growing healthcare customer base can access additional
leading edge solutions and services. I am confident that we will continue to demonstrate our commitment to and innovation in this very
important market sector as we progress through the rest of the fiscal year."
