Fujitsu and the Education Authority of Northern Ireland have mutually agreed to terminate a £485 million contract less than a year after its signing, following extensive negotiations.
Following the national scandal concerning the Post Office computer system, Fujitsu agreed not to pursue further public sector contracts in the UK, highlighting concerns over the company’s reliability.
Despite winning the contract for a new computer system for Northern Ireland's schools, the decision to end it suggests a lack of confidence and potentially impacts future contracts in the UK.
The Education Authority and Fujitsu indicated that their decision to part ways was on a 'no-fault basis', leaving stakeholders questioning the motivations behind such a rapid contract termination.
