Fujitsu: Trader Support Service

Asked by Sir Gavin WilliamsonConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 24 June 2025UIN 60835

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of awarding the Trader Support Service contract to Fujitsu on the reputation of that service.

Answered by James Murray

We follow government procurement rules. All of our contract opportunities are publicly available through Contracts Finder and/or Find-a-Tender Service and are available to any economic operator that is able to meet the requirements of the procurement in compliance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or The Procurement Regulations 2024, as applicable. Under the applicable legislation, there are no legal grounds that prevent Fujitsu from expressing its interest in this procurement. It is not appropriate to comment on any potential outcomes of a live public procurement.
