CGI is chosen to support Radioactive Incident Monitoring Network in the UK

CGI (NYSE:GIB) (TSX:GIB.A) has been awarded a four-year contract to provide
application support services to the UK's Radioactive Incident Monitoring Network
(RIMNET). CGI will be responsible for ensuring that critical monitoring services
are available should a potential nuclear incident occur overseas, enabling UK
authorities to monitor incidents and coordinate any required emergency response.



RIMNET 3 is the UK Government's national radiation monitoring and nuclear
emergency response system. It was set up following the Chernobyl accident as
part of its arrangements for dealing with the effects of overseas nuclear
accidents within the UK. The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), as
the lead government department for overseas nuclear accidents, coordinates the
government's response to incidents and oversees operation of the RIMNET system,
which was implemented by the Met Office, UK's national weather service.


CGI will deliver application management and support services, as well as
security management and facilities management. Support services will be
delivered from CGI's five-star(i) accredited service center in South Wales, with
hardware break-fix services delivered in partnership with CC Engineering, a
small and medium enterprise (SME) in the UK. 


Energy Minister Baroness Verma said, "The Radiation Incident Monitoring Network
(RIMNET) system plays a vital role as the UK's national radiation monitoring and
nuclear emergency response system. CGI and the Met Office bring important
expertise and experience in this area."


Chris George, vice president of digital government at CGI in the UK, said, "We
have a long and successful history in working with DECC and the Met Office to
ensure RIMNET is actively ready to help support should a radioactive incident
occur. This new contract confirms our expertise in delivering critical national
infrastructure in partnership with our clients."


(i)CGI has a five-star certification from the Service Desk Institute for its UK
service desk.
