Leonovus Awarded a Software Supply Arrangement by the Government of Canada


OTTAWA, April 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leonovus Inc., ("Leonovus" the "Company") (TSXV: LTV) today announces that on March 31, 2021, the Systems Software Procurement Division of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), on behalf of Canada, awarded Leonovus a purchasing arrangement for Leonovus' software. PWGSC, on behalf of Canada, has implemented the Software Licensing Supply Arrangement (SLSA) procurement vehicle for the delivery of various off-the-shelf software licenses and related software maintenance and support, as required by Canada in support of its various programs, operational needs, and projects.

"Any of the over 100 government departments or agencies can now buy Leonovus' software 'off the shelf', which is a huge milestone for the Company. The Canadian government's burgeoning requirement to embrace the cloud or hybrid architectures is our sweet spot with secure and smart data management. We announced that we were nominated and accepted into Innovation Canada's Accelerated Growth Service (AGS) two weeks ago. The AGS assigns a federal innovation advisor to the Company. The AGS now combined with the SLSA accelerates government and international software sales opportunities," said Michael Gaffney, CEO, Leonovus Inc.

"The SLSA results from three years of continuous product development, introduction, testing, and Leonovus software marketing to various government departments. As noted in previous news releases, the Departments of Agriculture, Justice, and National Defence successfully tested our software. With the SLSA procurement vehicle in place, which greatly simplifies the purchasing process, we plan on increasing sales and marketing resources to unlock significant revenue potential that is targeted specifically at the government market," said Gaffney.
