Paul Patterson, the director of Fujitsu Services Ltd, emailed the government on January 24 last year [PDF] to clarify that until an inquiry into the scandal was complete, there was "no limitation or caveat on our intention to pause bidding for work with new Government customers." He said it would "only" continue bidding for public sector work if a new customer asked it to do so, or with existing customers "for example a contract extension or for similar work already undertaken by Fujitsu for that customer," or "for new opportunities with existing customers, where we have assessed and understood there to be a need [for] Fujitsu skills and capability."
The deals were part of GSA's OneGov strategy, in which the government streamlines the acquisition of services by operating as one entity; that way individual federal agencies don't have to negotiate their own separate deals.
