CGI Group (GIB) selected for Finnish National Agency for Education's largest ICT procurement to date

CGI (TSX: GIB.A) (NYSE: GIB), one of the largest independent IT and business consulting services firms in the world, has been selected as the provider of development and maintenance services for Studyinfo (Finnish: Opintopolku), the Finnish National Agency for Education's largest digital service entity by user volume. The selection is part of the agency's largest ICT procurement to date. The eight-year agreement is valued at approximately €48 million to €80 million.

The Studyinfo service ecosystem consists of several services, information systems, and applications provided by the Finnish National Agency for Education. It offers citizens, education providers, authorities, and other stakeholders up-to-date information on education as well as national services for competence development and verification. It is the Finnish National Agency for Education's largest service ecosystem by number of users: in 2025, Studyinfo.fi (Opintopolku.fi) had approximately 14 million visitors.

The procurement of the Studyinfo service ecosystem is the largest in the history of the Finnish National Agency for Education. As a result, procurements that were previously implemented separately have been consolidated into a single agreement covering the maintenance and further development of services as one entity.

"Our goal was to simplify contract management, reduce costs and increase the flexibility of agreements. The new operating model better supports the continuous development of services and the growing number of users," said Paula Merikko, Director at the Finnish National Agency for Education.

CGI will be responsible for the development and maintenance of the expanding Studyinfo service ecosystem. The development work will utilize CGI's AI-enabled Application Factory delivery model, which accelerates application development, improves quality and reduces development costs. In addition, particular attention will be paid to responsible development by applying green coding principles.

"Studyinfo is a key digital service in Finland's education system. Our experience in modernizing critical public systems ensures that Studyinfo will continue to serve citizens efficiently in the years to come," said Kari Martelius, Senior Vice-President, Consulting Services, responsible for government services at CGI Finland.
