Palantir Technologies, a US spy-tech company, proposes that the UK government invest in a "common operating system" for its data management across various agencies, as highlighted by Louis Mosley during the ongoing COVID-19 Inquiry. He emphasized the immediacy of deploying such a system to prepare for future crises, citing the significant lessons learned from the pandemic. The company's controversial rise includes involvement with NHS England during the pandemic, initially with a low-value contract that grew substantially amid concerns over data usage and transparency.
"Palantir should be utilized for a common operating system in the UK government to better manage data across departments in light of COVID-19 lessons."
"NHS England's partnership with Palantir was born out of necessity during the pandemic, evolving from a £1 contract to a £23 million arrangement without competition."
