Fujitsu managed to keep mainframe support and maintenance contract for the Police National Computer (PNC) because no one challenged them.
The contract awarded to the Japanese Giant is worth £48 million and runs from April 2022 to March 2026.
Recently published Home Office procurement documents show this was a single tender action, meaning it is a direct contract with a single supplier, without competition.
This was done due “to lack of response from market following market engagement”, documents show.
PNC is a system that stores and shares criminal records information across the UK.
Law enforcement agencies use it to access information that will support national, regional and local investigations, the Acro website says.
The Fujitsu contract involves a data centre in Hendon and disaster recovery facilities.
