UK MPs Question Fujitsu's Continued Bidding for Government Contracts Amidst Horizon Scandal

Despite a previous pledge to halt bidding for UK public sector contracts following the Post Office Horizon scandal, Fujitsu continues to pursue large-scale IT projects, sparking outrage among British MPs and peers. The scandal involved a faulty computer system supplied by Fujitsu that led to the wrongful conviction of hundreds of subpostmasters. While Fujitsu claims to only bid when directly invited, it won a £125 million contract and continues bidding for others, including the £370 million Trader Support Service (TSS). Parliamentarians are concerned about Fujitsu's continued involvement while compensation for victims remains unresolved, questioning the government's assessment and the potential reputational damage.
