What they do

CGI provides IT and business consulting services to clients across a wide range of industries. Their work spans advisory services, business consulting, managed IT, agile digital delivery, data analytics and sustainability services. On the solutions side, they maintain a portfolio of intellectual property-based products including CGI GeoData360, CGI SensorInsights360, CGI OpenSea360, CGI AccelerateAI360 and uPair®.

The sectors they serve include banking and financial markets, central government, health and care, utilities, defence and intelligence, and oil and gas. Client work ranges from identity assurance projects with Experian for government use, to cloud security tool evaluation for the National Cyber Security Centre, to sustainable care delivery for Hywel Dda University Health Board in Wales.

On the defence side, CGI was awarded the UK Ministry of Defence SOTERIA contract to deliver Electromagnetic Warfare Support. Their BOREALIS project, focused on UK sovereign space domain understanding, went live six months ahead of schedule. These are the kinds of mission-critical, complex programmes that CGI describes as central to its identity.

Artificial intelligence is a growing part of their offer. They combine data science and machine learning capabilities with domain knowledge across their industry verticals. They have also achieved Databricks Gold tier status, recognising their AI, data and analytics delivery work. A partnership with OpenAI to deploy Codex for enterprise clients was announced alongside this.

CGI Cyber Escape 2.0 is a security awareness training product delivered in an interactive format, designed to help organisations build basic cyber hygiene across their workforce.

Their STEM Sponsorships programme draws on five decades of technology experience to support education-to-careers pathways. They are also the title partner to the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures for 2023 to 2025, and run the SEEDS research programme — Sustainability Exploration and Environmental Data Science — in partnership with academia and the United Nations.

Where they sit in Leeds

CGI announced in 2026 that they are the Headline Sponsor of Leeds Digital, the start of a three-year partnership aimed at supporting the continued growth of the region's technology sector. That commitment puts them at the centre of the Leeds tech community in a formal, sustained way rather than as a one-off sponsor.

The researcher's note describes BJSS — an enterprise technology and software delivery consultancy founded in Leeds — as the intended subject of this profile. However, the fetched site content returned CGI's website throughout, and no BJSS-specific content was present in the source material. This profile therefore covers CGI as the company whose content was supplied. CGI operates a metro market model, with local teams working close to clients across the UK. Their Leeds presence is confirmed by the Leeds Digital sponsorship, though specific office details are not given in the source text.

With 94,000 professionals globally and nearly 50 years of continuous operation since their 1976 founding, CGI sits firmly in the large enterprise tier of IT services. They are publicly listed and operate across multiple continents, which places them in a different category to most firms in the Leeds tech scene — but their three-year commitment to Leeds Digital signals a deliberate investment in the local market.
