The Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (Mopac), which must approve contracts of this size, withheld approval, saying Scotland Yard had seriously engaged with only one potential supplier, Palantir. Khan's office also said the Met risked becoming locked into Palantir's technology and that the proposed deal had not ensured or demonstrated value for money. His spokesperson said Londoners only wanted to see public money being paid to companies that share the values of our city.
