Hot on the heels of last week’s news that National Highways (NH) had let four data analysis, supply and management contracts together worth over £100m (see here) comes notification that a fifth deal in the domain has been awarded to CGI. The five-year agreement is worth up to £21m. The scope of the engagement covers the provision of support to NH as it brings together the to date largely discrete development and operations activities for its Data as a Service (DaaS) platform to operate as one DevSecOps team.
The win builds of the relationship between NH, a wholly government-owned company responsible for managing and improving England’s strategic road network, and BJSS. Acquired by CGI earlier this year (see here), the Leeds-based IT and business consultancy had worked with NH to deliver DaaS, which is seen by the client as a critical enabler to its broader data programme. The prior engagement involved designing and building a cloud-based data architecture platform to provide a clear view of data across the organisation.
At the time of its announcement, we described the purchase of BJSS by CGI as a win-win for both parties and so it appears to be proving. The success at NH follows the securing last month of contracts together worth over £44m by the combined entity with both NHS Scotland and NHS England.
