The National Health Service said Palantir had been awarded the seven-year contract, worth 330 million pounds, or about $415 million, to build a new platform that integrates data from across the N.H.S. into a central repository.
In addition to privacy concerns and the company's links to Mr. Thiel, a libertarian investor who was one of President Donald J. Trump's major 2016 donors, many health officials and policymakers were rankled by Palantir's aggressive lobbying tactics to win the contract.
Alex Karp, Palantir's chief executive, said in a statement that the system would help bring down waiting lists, improve patient care and reduce health inequalities.
