    Cybit Holdings Plc 
    Cybit Awarded Five-Year Highways Agency Contract

    Cybit, the international provider of telematics based products and services for the management and control of land and sea based assets,
has been awarded a five-year contract by the Highways Agency to track and monitor over 400 winter service vehicles. 

    Cybit's winter maintenance tracking solution will be supplied on the Highways Agency's new winter service fleet which is responsible for
keeping all England's motorway and major A roads free from snow and ice in winter. The first vehicles will be on the road this autumn and
the remainder are being delivered over the next four years.  

    The Highways Agency's contractors will have local visibility of the fleet's activity, access to a real-time national view of the fleet
as well as detailed performance management information. Through the provision of Cybit's fleet tracking solution, the Highways Agency will
be able to monitor route treatment progress in real-time and provide customers with more reliable information on road conditions. The
telematics system gives the contractors the ability to monitor location-based information, monitor planned versus actual activity, to react
to problems and to be confident that roads have been adequately treated. The system also records whether the vehicles are spreading, the
rate of and pattern of spreading, width and lane position, and ploughing. 

    Cybit will also provide a range of performance reports and historical analysis to the Highways Agency to assist them in monitoring
service levels. 

    In addition to the Highways Agency contract, Cybit now works with over 60 local authorities and 20 governments internationally.

    Richard Horsman, Cybit's Chief Executive commented:
    "This contract award demonstrates the value of providing a company division dedicated to the public sector. The Company's experience
with winter maintenance applications is second to none and it is pleasing that we are able to offer a solution and service back-up that
exceeds the Highways Agency's standards. The contract award consolidates Cybit's position as the leading player in the supply of telematics
and fleet tracking service to government and local authorities."

    Martin Hobbs, Strategy and Policy Group Leader of the Highways Agency added:
    "Cybit was awarded the contract by the Highways Agency having completed a rigorous selection process in competition with the other
providers of winter maintenance solutions. Cybit's Government & Local Authority Division was able to demonstrate total focus and
understanding of our requirements. Their scale and experience of working on similar projects gives us confidence that they will deliver a
class-leading service and return best value to the Highways Agency and our stakeholders."
