Last week, Fujitsu Services was awarded two public sector deals worth £140 million. The first one is a £100 million eight-year contract to supply managed IT services to the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). Under the deal, Fujitsu will provide PSNI’s service desk, fixed line telephony network, data networks (covering WAN and LAN), desktop and laptop maintenance and support, applications hosting services, a network of static and mobile automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras and applications support services.

The second is a £40m ten-year deal with the Research Councils U.K. (RCUK), to implement a shared services infrastructure. Fujitsu will be responsible for consolidating back office processes in HR, financial, procurement and grant processing across the seven Research Councils. As part of the project, Fujitsu will set up RCUK Shared Services Center, a center in Swindon employing 600 people.
