New contract
The government department handed Fujitsu a contract worth £9.6mn for procurement of hardware equipment and a separate £15mn contract for continued provision of law enforcement software services, according to government data published last month and in November. The decision to award the contracts, worth a combined £24.6mn and starting in October, came after prominent Labour MPs joined other politicians last year in calling for the Japanese technology company to be barred from receiving state contracts because of its role in the Horizon scandal.
Same old company
More than 900 Post Office branch managers were convicted between 1999 and 2015 in cases involving faulty data from the Horizon accounting software developed by Fujitsu.

Wasn’t it moreso the post office lying about the software instead of Fujitsu itself?
