EID signs €33m contract with
NATO Communications and Information Agency
Cohort, the AIM-listed independent
technology group, announces that, following a competitive tender,
its subsidiary EID has signed a contract
with the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) to
supply the Portuguese Army with a Tactical
Deployable Communication and Information System (TDCIS). The value of the signed contract is €33 million with
delivery over a three year period.
Andy
Thomis, Cohort Chief Executive, said:
"We are delighted that EID has been
selected for this important programme. EID is well-known for its
communications technology and TDCIS will provide the Portuguese
Army with a highly effective, modern system, interoperable with
NATO allies. Together with recent contracts to provide its
Integrated Communications System to Damen for the Portuguese Navy´s
Multi-Purpose Vessel (MPV) and to the Chilean Navy, this win takes
EID's order intake to over €45m in the last 4 months."
