Restart Contract Wins for PeoplePlus

Staffline (AIM: STAF), the recruitment and training group, provides the following update regarding contracts with prime suppliers in relation to the Department for Work and Pensions Restart programme, as previously disclosed as being in negotiation in the 'Proposed Placing and Subscription to raise GBP44 million, Proposed Open Offer to raise GBP4.4 million and Proposed Debt Refinancing' announcement released by the Company on 21 May 2021.

The Board is pleased to announce that PeoplePlus, the Group's leading adult skills and training division, has concluded three contracts with two of the UK's leading outsourcing providers. The combined value of the contracts is material to PeoplePlus, representing an opportunity of up to a maximum of GBP90m over four years in aggregate revenue at the higher rate performance outcome and are expected to commence in H2 2021.

As previously noted, these contracts will not impact expectations for the current financial year and will underpin PeoplePlus' revenue pipeline for 2022 and beyond.

Albert Ellis, Chief Executive Officer of Staffline, commented:

"We are delighted to have concluded these contracts to support the Department for Work and Pensions Restart programme. These contracts underpin PeoplePlus's performance in the medium-term, building a diverse and multi service portfolio in line with our strategy and reinforcing our reputation as one of the UK's leading adult skills and training providers."

Simon Rouse, Managing Director of PeoplePlus, added:

"We look forward to working with our employability partners to deliver the Restart programme in supporting the long-term unemployed in finding work. PeoplePlus's purpose is to help people transform their lives, get jobs and keep jobs and develop their careers. Restart gets to the heart of that purpose."
