Specialist IT and software group SciSys has secured a contract with the Environment Agency to improve its effectiveness as a regulator.
The contract, worth around £1.75m over 15 month, will also help the agency provide a better service to those it regulates and the public while also reducing costs.
The agreement strengthens an existing relationship between Chippenham-based SciSys and the agency, adding to regulation work the group’s Environment Division has been carrying out for several years.
SciSys chairman Mike Love said: “Delivering these enhancements to the Environment Agency’s permitting solution builds on the work that has been undertaken for the Environment Agency over a number of years in helping them to develop solutions to meet their Better Regulation objectives.
“This contract further strengthens the Environment Division’s position as a leading provider in the regulation solutions market.”
SciSys employs nearly 450 staff working in sectors spanning media, space, government and the environment.
Customers include the Ministry of Defence, Cable & Wireless, the European Space Agency and the BBC as well as the Environment Agency.
Headquartered in Chippenham, it has offices in Bristol and Reading and three in Germany.
