CGI has signed a new agreement with Taylor Wimpey. The £22 million five year deal will see CGI provide Service Delivery and Technology Managed Services to the homebuilder, as well as improve the connection between technology initiatives and business objectives by way of its Governance and Relationship Management model.

Taylor Wimpey was formed in 2007 following the merger of Taylor Woodrow, founded in 1921, and George Wimpey, founded in 1880. The company is one of the largest homebuilders in the UK, with regional offices in 24 locations across Wales, Scotland and England. Its head office is at Gate House in High Wycombe. Taylor Wimpey builds and sells over 10,000 homes each year, and has in recent years also been active in the Spanish market.

The new deal with CGI follows on the £15.2 million contract signed between Logica, bought by CGI in 2012, and Taylor Wimpey in early 2012; prior to which the two firms had a nine year relationship. The Service Delivery and Technology Managed Services contract, valued at £22 million, will expand the relationship for a further five years.
