Overview
- Government procurement lists published in late July include Fujitsu on the Digital Outcomes and Specialists 7 framework, which covers access to roughly £15 billion of potential public-sector work.
- The move allows Fujitsu to bid for extensions or renewals with existing government customers even though it has not paid direct compensation to sub-postmasters harmed by the Horizon software.
- The state has provided around £1.5 billion in interim redress so far, and ministers say framework placement follows procurement rules but does not guarantee any contract award.
- The Post Office has extended system arrangements into March 2027 and has appointed Accenture and One View Commerce to replace Fujitsu’s operational role over time.
- Campaigners and some MPs demand procurement reform and for Fujitsu to be barred from new work until victims are fully compensated, while the Sir Wyn Williams inquiry continues and government–Fujitsu talks on contribution to redress remain active.
