The Horizon IT system replacement project is beset with issues including distrust between teams, poor governance, and a lack of technical skills, leading to major budget overruns.
According to a review, the project is rated as 'currently unachievable' by government experts, with costs ballooning from £180m to £1.1bn and delays up to five years.
The contract with Fujitsu for Horizon support ends in March 2025, and its continuation hinges on the Post Office proving there is a viable replacement plan.
The Post Office seeks a five-year extension to its contract with Fujitsu, potentially costing taxpayers an additional £180 million, yet contract negotiations remain unresolved with under six months left.
