That is a payment total for a particular 12-month period—not Fujitsu’s annual UK revenue or profit. Reports of a gradual decline in its UK business are based on anonymous-source comments and signs of specific customers planning changes, not a published financial trend.
How much did HMRC pay Fujitsu last year?
In Computer Weekly’s 10 June 2025 report, “last year” refers to the financial-year period from April 2024 to March 2025. HMRC paid Fujitsu about £310 million during those 12 months, according to official figures cited in the report. The figure does not establish Fujitsu’s total UK revenue, its profit, or how much it will receive in a later year.
The same article reported a separate estimate from public-sector data company Tussell: UK public-sector spending on Fujitsu was about £450 million over that period, including £78 million from the Home Office. Those are Tussell figures as reported by Computer Weekly, not audited company revenue or figures supplied by HMRC.
Why is HMRC still paying Fujitsu?
Existing services and replacement plans do not end at the same time. Public bodies may need to keep essential systems running while they arrange new suppliers, move data and services, and complete procurement. In its 2026 report, the House of Commons Business and Trade Committee said the government had explained contract extensions as necessary to preserve essential services while departments reprocured or restructured services. An extension can therefore coexist with a plan to reduce reliance on a supplier.

HMRC has planned a datacentre transition
Computer Weekly reported that HMRC had issued a £500 million tender to move away from three datacentres hosted by Fujitsu. That tender indicates a planned transition for those facilities; it does not mean all HMRC work with Fujitsu ends at once, or that £500 million was a payment to Fujitsu.
Post Office technology changes also require funding
In April 2025, the Competition and Markets Authority’s Subsidy Advice Unit described a proposed grant of up to £136 million for the Post Office’s 2025–26 Future Technology Portfolio. The proposed funding was intended to support IT investment and transition planning, including Horizon replacement and a phased exit from current Fujitsu arrangements. It was a proposed grant for that programme and period, not a direct Fujitsu contract payment. The CMA’s subsidy referral sets out the proposal.
Is Fujitsu losing UK government work?
There are signs of reduced or reconsidered exposure, but the available evidence does not quantify a company-wide decline. Computer Weekly attributed the phrase “gradual decline” and reports of growing customer nervousness to unnamed Fujitsu sources. Those sources described government business as deeply embedded, while saying some customers were weighing reputational risk. The article did not provide a measured revenue series, financial forecast or estimate of how much work might be lost.
Some individual decisions and plans offer context, but they are not interchangeable evidence of a UK-wide trend:
- HMRC: the reported £500 million tender concerns moving away from three Fujitsu-hosted datacentres, not ending every HMRC relationship.
- Post Office: plans cover replacing Horizon and phasing out current Fujitsu arrangements, with a transition period.
- Centrica: Computer Weekly reported that Centrica did not proceed with Fujitsu despite the company being its preferred bidder. That is a separate customer decision, not a government contract figure.
Contract records also show why “decline” does not mean an immediate stop to new or continuing work. The Business and Trade Committee reported that between 1 May 2024 and 15 September 2025 Fujitsu received eight new public-sector contracts worth £362 million and had 21 contract extensions. The committee presented extensions in the context of maintaining services during reprocurement and restructuring. These dated contract figures are not a forecast of future spending or a measure of Fujitsu’s overall UK revenue. The committee’s report provides its account of contracts and extensions.
What happens to the Post Office’s Horizon system?
The stated plan is to replace Horizon and move to a new supplier, but the transition and award are distinct milestones. In a written answer on 26 March 2026, the government said the Post Office was using the competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023 and expected to award a contract for a new supplier by summer 2026. That was the government’s expectation at the time of the answer, not confirmation that a contract had since been awarded.
The same answer said Fujitsu would not bid for further government business unless specifically asked to do so where its involvement was necessary for critical public-service continuity. This leaves a limited continuity exception while the government’s stated policy points away from Fujitsu pursuing further government work. The distinction matters: an existing service can continue during a handover even when the supplier is not seeking new work.

Commercial contract activity and compensation for people affected by the Horizon scandal are related public issues, but they are different measures. In its 13 March 2026 update, the Business and Trade Committee said Fujitsu had made no contribution to redress at that point. The committee also reported that more than 11,300 claimants had received £1.44 billion. These are committee-reported figures as of March 2026, not a calculation of Fujitsu’s liability or a measure of its contract payments.
The committee’s chair, Rt Hon Liam Byrne MP, said that for hundreds of sub-postmasters, justice had come too slowly and that serious structural failings continued to obstruct redress. That assessment concerns the pace and administration of justice and compensation; it does not establish a quantified forecast for Fujitsu’s UK business. The committee’s March 2026 update gives its figures and findings.
How to read the apparent contradiction
The £310 million HMRC figure is a record of payments in one specified year. The claim of gradual decline is a qualitative assessment attributed to anonymous Fujitsu sources, alongside particular contract and customer changes. Neither the HMRC payment nor the separate £450 million Tussell estimate proves that Fujitsu’s UK business is growing or shrinking overall. Meanwhile, replacement procurement, contract extensions and continuity arrangements can overlap: old work may continue while public bodies prepare to move it elsewhere.
