    CGI’s relationship with the Crown Prosecution Service can be traced back to 2001 when the non-ministerial department decided to improve its handling of cases by reducing reliance on the physical file. Logica, as was, signed the COMPASS contract, with an initial focus on a new electronic case management system. The contract evolved over the years to become a full outsourced ICT service and was extended multiple times.

    CGI has maintained a strong footprint, including an Apps and Hosting contract, which has been extended to November 2025. Now, it has announced a further win as CPS’ Application, Database, and Infrastructure Management Services (ADIMS) partner. The focus of the contract will be on elevating the digital backbone of the CPS’ Future Casework Tools Programme; the Programme provides digital solutions to increase efficiency, enhance casework quality, and improve user experience.
