The Government of Canada has signed a four year contract extension with CGI Group Inc. The US $78m extension covers the provision of engineering and technical services. The contract, originally signed in 2007, changes the existing arrangement from a Resource Based contract to a managed-services model, with a focus on outcomes.

“More and more government agencies are moving towards a longer-term managed services model with companies they rely on to help them succeed in their mission,” said Hicham Adra, Senior Vice-President and General Manager, National Capital Region. “CGI has been supplying IT services to the Government of Canada for over 25 years. We have a strong track record in government, and we look forward to continuing that with the services provided to PWGSC.”
