Fujitsu 'to have received £3.4bn in Treasury-linked deals active since 2019' despite role in Post Office scandal

Fujitsu has received over £3.4 billion in contracts from UK government entities since 2019, including the Bank of England and HM Revenue & Customs, despite its involvement in the Post Office scandal.
£1.4 billion worth of contracts were awarded after it was determined that Fujitsu's Horizon software contained bugs, and more than £2 billion in contracts were agreed upon before 2019.
Despite ongoing contracts, the Bank of England stated it no longer has active contracts with Fujitsu, while the Financial Conduct Authority considered ending a contract due to poor performance but decided to continue.
