(Sharecast News) - Risk management services provider Acuity RM said on Tuesday that it has secured a new contract win via its wholly-owned operating subsidiary.

Acuity RM said its Acuity Risk Management subsidiary had locked in a three-year contract worth £160,000 to manage ISO 27001 framework and "excellence of service" for a new and unnamed client.

Acuity RM added that the contract was won in conjunction with a new partner with worldwide operations.

Chief executive Angus Forrest said: "It is a great pleasure to win a contract with a company where there is potential to grow the account substantially. In this case, it also brings a new partner into the Acuity orbit of operations, with the potential to assist Acuity grow in global markets."

As of 1145 GMT, Acuity RM shares were down 1.05% at 4.70p.
