In October 2022, the UK Government Digital Service entered into an initial one-year contract with #Fujitsu, which “will be responsible for all the technical delivery, design iterations and 24/7 operational support” of the emergency alerts system tested yesterday.
Fujitsu previously fulfilled a one-year £665,000 contract covering project-management and support services during the development of the alerts service, which has been in the works since 2018 and was tested in several parts of England in 2021, before its nationwide launch.
Concerns have been raised about why the Govt awarded the £5 million contract to run the emergency alert programme to Fujitsu, the company behind the Post Office IT scandal that led to the conviction of more than 700 postmasters, as well as suicides & wrongful imprisonment.
