Fujitsu has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the government, following in the footsteps of fellow ICT suppliers including Microsoft, BT, Capgemini, and Atos Origin.

The Memorandums of Understanding follow meetings with Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude in July, as part of the Efficiency and Reform Group’s objective to come to fresh agreements over existing contracts, saving the government money in the process.

In a short statement, Roger Gilbert, CEO of Fujitsu UK & Ireland, said the company was “pleased” to respond to the requirements laid out by the Efficiency and Reform Group, “in a constructive and timely manner”.

“We are proud to have been providing innovative and efficient solutions to our public sector customers over many decades,” Gilbert added. “With the signing of this agreement we are looking forward to continuing our partnership with the UK Government through successfully exploiting technology to deliver ever more effective public services for the benefit of UK citizens.”

Fujitsu has had a relationship with the UK Government for more than 40 years, across some of the largest and most complex departments. According to the company statement, Fujitsu will “continue to bring its experience and expertise to enable the public sector to be more effective and save money and will continue to deliver all its existing contracts”.
