After a delay of more than eight weeks, NHS England said the data analytics technology from Palantir would support the FDP, designed to join up information held in separate NHS systems to help solve the problems faced by the taxpayer-funded organization.
NHS England said the contract would last seven years and cost £330 million ($412 million). It expects to invest £25.6 million ($32 million) in the platform in the first year.
Palantir became part of NHS England's thinking during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. By providing technology in a £1 contract, arranged without a competitive process, it went on to win business worth £1 million ($1.25 million), then a £23 million (#28.7 million) contract was signed in December 2020, again without competition.
