MPs demand answers on Fujitsu's inclusion in lucrative frameworks

MPs on the Business and Trade Select Committee are demanding clarity from the government over Fujitsu's inclusion in £50bn+ worth of procurement frameworks, given the company's self-imposed moratorium on bidding for new public sector customers following its central role in the Post Office scandal. Fujitsu was added to four major government frameworks in July 2026 despite its ban, and MPs want reassurances that the company will not use these frameworks to secure contracts with new public sector bodies while the moratorium remains in effect. The committee chair has requested answers by August 12 on whether the government has discussed the arrangement with Fujitsu and how its framework participation aligns with its stated moratorium.
