PROACTIS Holdings PLC

Awarded two new higher education contracts in The Netherlands

PROACTIS Holdings PLC ("PROACTIS", the "Group" or the "Company"), a global Spend Control and eProcurement solution provider, today announces that, it has been awarded two higher education contracts in The Netherlands. In addition to those existing contracts currently in place, PROACTIS' platform now supports 134,000 students and 12,400 staff across four higher education establishments in the sector.

Hogeschool Fontys and Hanze Hogeschool Groningen have selected PROACTIS' solutions to support strategic sourcing and contract management processes, supplier management processes, management of daily purchase activity, efficient invoice processing and spend visibility. Proactis' proven capability to integrate with the existing Microsoft Dynamics, CODA-Financials and Peoplesoft finance systems was a key factor in the contract wins.

The two existing higher education contracts are detailed below:

·; Hogeschool Inholland: has been a client since 2010 and is the largest education establishment in The Netherlands, across nine locations. It chose PROACTIS to implement its solutions across all its sites to improve and streamline its procurement and purchase-to-pay processes.

·; Hogeschool Utrecht: has been a client since 2012. It selected PROACTIS' full suite of source-to-contract and purchase-to-pay software for its 11 locations.

Rod Jones, CEO of PROACTIS, commented:

"I am pleased to announce the two new contracts, which illustrate our in depth knowledge of the higher education space and its e-procurement needs. In particular, the technical capability to integrate our software has been highlighted again as key to the contract wins.

"We truly understand that the education sector needs solutions that provide a tangible return on investment, and clear visibility of spending and procurement. With this in mind we look forward to working with Hogeschool Fontys and Hanze Hogeschool Groningen whilst further extending our work within this dynamic sector."
