Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had, if any, with Fujitsu regarding a tender for the contract to replace the Post Office Horizon system.
Post Office have a contract with Fujitsu until March 2025 for the Horizon IT system, and are in negotiations with Fujitsu regarding an extension to that contract. Officials at the Department have met with Fujitsu to discuss the importance of a contract extension, which would allow continuity of service in post office branches while Post Office develops a replacement to the Horizon system.
