The Home Office is to extend its outsourcing contract with Fujitsu for two more years, the second time the contract has been extended since it was signed in 2000. The extension will see Fujitsu continue to provide hardware and technical support to about 70% of users at the Home Office. A spokesperson for the Home Office said the department was still keen to move away from large outsourcing deals and to use smaller suppliers. “As we make this change, it is important to ensure a smooth transition to these new services. We have therefore extended the transition period of our Fujitsu contract until April 2018.”
