Mosaic Delayed Again Amid IT Turbulence

Mosaic, Edinburgh Council’s long-delayed new IT system for social workers, is now set for a late autumn launch—another postponement after shifting from June to this new date. Despite the setbacks, the council says no extra costs are involved, as the delay simply buys more time for testing and final prep. Training for the 2,000 users remains on schedule. The project, launched in September 2024 with Canadian firm CGI (a longtime partner since 2015), has a history of turbulence: major delays, email outages, unmet cost savings, and past scandals—including a costly farm subsidy fiasco. Even in 2024, CGI’s involvement hit another snag with insecure student iPads. The council, however, extended CGI’s contract until 2029, betting on long-term stability despite the track record.
