"We are pleased that the Department for Education has chosen to partner with us once again, and expand our relationship across multiple service lines, demonstrating their confidence in our ability to deliver critical digital solutions and reinforcing our reputation in the market. The award of this contract helps underpin our revenue expectations for FY25."
