Acusensus Limited (ASX:ACE) announced on 23 October 2026 that its wholly owned subsidiary, Acusensus Australia Pty Ltd, has been awarded a new master services agreement, with associated statements of work, by the Australian Capital Territory. The client is the ACT Government's City and Environment Directorate. The initial term is five years, with two options to extend, each for up to a further five years.

The company put the initial contract value at approximately A$63 million, excluding GST, over the first five years. If both extension options were exercised, it estimated the total value at up to A$210 million, again excluding GST. The extensions are at the Territory's option.

What Acusensus will deliver

The scope covers the provision, operation and maintenance of enforcement cameras, together with mid-office software that the Territory will use for its adjudication processes. Enforcement for road safety offences will be delivered through software, fixed-site and transportable solutions. These include:

  • multifunction trailer-based enforcement covering mobile phone use, seatbelts, speed, average speed and vehicles of interest;
  • trailer-based speed enforcement;
  • vehicle-based speed enforcement; and
  • fixed-site red-light and speed cameras.

The company said a staged rollout of replacement and expanded enforcement solutions is expected to begin in mid-2027. The announcement did not give a Revenue profile, so how much of the A$63 million falls in each year, and when revenue will be recognised, is not specified.

Contract context

Acusensus described the award as expanding its role in the ACT from a specialist detection provider to a comprehensive enforcement partner, and said it supports the Territory's Vision Zero road safety objectives. The ACT becomes the second jurisdiction, after Western Australia, to use the company's full multifunction enforcement camera solution.

The company already holds contracts for mobile phone enforcement, or mobile phone and seatbelt enforcement, in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia. It also supplies speed enforcement programmes in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia, and has international customers. Founder and Managing Director Alexander Jannink said the company was delighted to expand its existing relationship with the ACT Government.

Conditions and what is not disclosed

The announcement describes a master services agreement with statements of work. It does not detail termination rights, performance conditions, pricing mechanisms, Capital Expenditure the company may need to fund for the replacement fleet, or the expected margin. The extension periods depend on a future decision, and the final value will vary with the work ordered under each statement of work. The announcement also does not say how the new agreement relates to the company's existing ACT arrangements for specialist detection.

Next milestones

The only dated milestone in the announcement is the start of the staged rollout in mid-2027. The company has not specified how the contract will be reflected in the financial results of Acusensus (ASX:ACE). The headline figures are the company's own estimates of contract value rather than reported revenue or earnings.
