Contract Wins and Industry Award

 

Avia (AIM: AVIA), the AIM-listed developer and provider of clinical decision support systems, is pleased to announce three multi-year contract wins, with an expected total value of approximately £640K over the period of the contracts. The contracts are for a renewal with a major long-standing customer and for deployments with two new customers, one of which is for a newly developed product, Odyssey FirstAssess.

 

Hull City Healthcare Partnership has signed a three-year contract for the delivery of Odyssey TeleAssess and Odyssey FaceToFace, to be deployed at three sites. This is a new out of hours customer for Avia and represents further consolidation of our position as the leading provider of clinical decision support to this sector within the NHS.

 

HMP Bedford has signed a three-year contract for the delivery of Odyssey FirstAssess. The solution will be deployed to provide improved healthcare services at the prison whilst reducing the cost of delivery. HMP Bedford has also committed to becoming a technology development partner with Avia and will act as an important reference site for the prison sector.

 

Amicus ITS, the IT services division of leading independent primary care provider Harmoni HS Limited ("Harmoni"), has signed a major three-year contract for the delivery of Odyssey TeleAssess for use at all Harmoni sites. Harmoni has been delivering clinical support services for the last 15 years using Odyssey TeleAssess, and currently provides out of hours cover to over 7 million patients across the UK.

 

The Company is also pleased to announce that an Odyssey customer, SSAFA Forces Help and British Forces Germany, has been awarded the prestigious Innovation and Service Development Award at the Military and Civilian Health Partnership Awards 2010 for its delivery of out of hours care using Odyssey TeleAssess. The project was commended for achieving considerable savings in resources together with enhanced delivery of care.

 

Barry Giddings, Executive Chairman of Avia, commented, "We are delighted to be able to report on continued progress at Avia. We have invested over the past year so that we now have a range of products tailored to an expanded number of industry verticals including care homes, the marine industry and the prison service, both in the UK and internationally. These contracts and the award underline the value of the Odyssey product range in delivering effective, efficient healthcare and are a good signal of the progress we are achieving in both our existing and new markets."
