The Fujitsu UK employees will receive a bonus despite the Post scandal and

Fujitsu UK reward the employees to combat a sales threshold in order to obtain further evidence that the company's gesture in order to get into the public sector's contracts was “hollow”.

According to sources, all employees in Great Britain will receive a bonus this year after a sales destination has been reached, while the headquarters in Japan bring another 80 million GBP into the British business.

After the national outrage that ITVS drama followed by the Post office scandal, Fujitsu, who delivered the faulty software in the center of the scandal -said that it would be pending for lucrative government contracts.

However, the tender break was described as a “hollow” gesture of peer and long-time activist for Subpostmasters Kevan Jones.

The supplier's Horizon single trade and accounting software has been used by Swiss Post since it was first introduced in branches in 2000. Subpostmasters were held responsible for inexplicable account failures and punished that were caused by software errors.

The former subpostmaster Jo Hamilton, who was incorrectly committed as a result of inexplicable losses and was sentenced to false accounting, said that the bonus for Fujitsu employee “rubs salt into the wounds”.

“The non -existent break is an insult to the subpostmasters that are waiting for financial rights. Fujitsu could immerse yourself in her deep pockets and help the government report and pay everyone before they die,” she said.

Fujitsu would not comment on the stable bonus.

The promise of the supplier to keep a break only referred to new companies and it has continued to enter contracts with public bodies in which there are already relationships, of which there are many.

For example, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) – described as “Cash Cow” for Fujitsu – has continued to grant large orders. Fujitsu could land with HMRC contracts over half a billion pounds this year alone, since the public sector continues to reward the company despite its role in the British judiciary in the history of the United Kingdom.

The HMRC is the largest source for the British income of the Fujitsu government, but there are hundreds of million pounds more contracts in the public sector for which Fujitsu has or offers. Computer Weekly recently announced a deal between HMRC and Fujitsu for hardware and cloud procurement worth more than 200 million GBP and known as North Star, where there was no competitive tender. HMRC also extends the computer environment for self -evaluation (CESA) contracts worth almost 60 million GBP, where Fujitsu is the incumbent.

The number is much larger for the wider public sector. For example, Fujitsu won a one -year extension of his horizon contract with the state post office worth 40 million GBP in December 2024. According to a source, up to a dozen more potential HMRC offers in the pipeline and several contracts of Home Office and Deals with the Ministry of Defense, to name just a few.

In the meantime, the company's headquarters in Japan will bring a further 80 million pounds into his British business, which will not lead to compensation to compensate for the victims of the scandal.

A Fujitsu spokesman said: “This investment reinforced [our] Long -term financial health and competitiveness and reflects Fujitsus persistent commitment to Great Britain. This is part of a regular review process for companies that covers all legal entities in the Fujitsu group. It has nothing with our ongoing talks with the government in relation to the contribution to compensation. “

Fujitsu has not yet agreed how much of the costs of the scandal he will cover, a lot of billion dollars. After a meeting with Fujitsu in Tokyo last month, business and trade minister Jonathan Reynolds said There was an agreement to start discussions about the compensation. To date, Fujitsu has said that it would wait until the public investigation was concluded before he committed himself to talks.

The Post office scandal was first unveiled by Computer Weekly in 2009 and unveiled the stories of seven subpost masters – including Hamilton – and the problems they suffered from the accounting software. It is one of the largest miscarriages in British history (Since 2009 you will find the timeline of the timeline of the weekly articles about the scandal about the scandal).
