Edinburgh signs £186 million deal to outsource ICT
The contract, expected to save £45 million, has been awarded to CGI and will include faster broadband services for schools.
Councillor Alasdair Rankin, convener of the City of Edinburgh Council's finance and resources committee, said: “The council is delighted to be entering into partnership with CGI. In signing this contract we will transform the way we do business.
“People are at the heart of our organisation whether they are citizens, staff or working in the city's economy. One of the exciting things CGI will do is to speed up our move to greater online capability giving residents and businesses greater flexibility to engage with the council and carry out their transactions digitally. This will make us a more efficient and effective organisation across our wide range of council services.”
