Fujitsu added to £14.9B UK government framework amid bid freeze

Fujitsu has been added to a £14.9 billion UK government framework agreement, despite an ongoing freeze on its public sector bids. This framework allows suppliers to bid on various government projects. The company stated that the current pause on its bids only affects its ability to pursue work from new government clients, implying that existing contracts or participation in such frameworks are unaffected.
