Revenue and Customs: Cumbernauld

Question

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, which organisation is expected to meet the cost of redundancy payments to Fujitsu staff at Cumbernald Tax Office who will lose their jobs as a result of the decision of HM Revenue and Customs to end its contract early with Fujitsu at that site.

Answer

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is in the last stages of a commercial process with suppliers for the provision of Customer Communication (Print) services. The Invitation to Tender (ITT) made it clear that HMRC would consider the prospect of indemnifying supplier redundancy costs up to a capped limit. As HMRC is still in a live commercial process the details are commercially confidential at this stage.
