Contract Wins

 

 

Petards, the AIM quoted developer of advanced security, communication and
surveillance systems, announces that its subsidiary, QRO Solutions (QRO), has
been awarded two similarly valued contracts worth a combined £0.5 million.

 

The first, which is from a new export customer, is for the supply of QRO's
ProVida in-car speed enforcement systems for use in vehicles operated by a
European national police force. QRO expects to fully deliver the equipment
during the first half of 2026, which will be installed in the end-user's fleet
by QRO's customer.

 

The second, is for the supply of Harrier AI ANPR cameras to one of QRO's
existing UK law enforcement customers. These cameras will form part of the
latest phase of a ANPR programme being undertaken by the end-user for which
QRO has previously supplied Harrier AI and other roadside ANPR equipment. The
new cameras are for use at several operationally strategic highway locations
across England and are scheduled to be delivered before 30 June 2026.

 

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of
the UK version of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 which is part of UK law by
virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended ("MAR"). Upon
the publication of this announcement via a Regulatory Information Service,
this inside information is now considered to be in the public domain.

 

Raschid Abdullah, Chairman of Petards Group plc said:

 

"We are delighted that QRO has secured these orders, one of which consolidates
its position with an important UK customer and the other representing QRO's
first significant overseas order since it started investing in dedicated
overseas business development resources in 2025.

 

"From a strategic perspective, this first European export success is
particularly pleasing and is a tangible sign that international markets have
the potential to provide an additional source of future growth for the
business."
