CGI is chosen to support Radioactive Incident Monitoring Network in
the UK
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Jun 10, 2014) - 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* 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."
*CGI has a five-star certification from the Service Desk
Institute for its UK service desk.
