The Home Office is discontinuing its IT services contract with Fujitsu, opting for an in-house solution prior to the contract's expiration in January. The £21m ITNow Service Desk contract, signed in 2021, will cease in October. More than 50 staff will transition to the Home Office under TUPE regulations. Controversy surrounds Fujitsu due to its involvement in the Post Office scandal, which has cost taxpayers over £1 billion. Pressure mounts for public sector organizations to sever ties with Fujitsu altogether.
"It is essential that the government should wean itself off Fujitsu contracts. We must not be held over a barrel by a company that behaved so badly to the subpostmasters."
"So far, the Horizon scandal has cost the taxpayers over £1bn, and still Fujitsu has contributed not one penny towards their victims. They don't deserve, and shouldn't get, one more bit of work."
