Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether any negotiations are taking place between NHS England and Palantir for contracts to manage health data as of 31 March 2022.
NHS England has an existing agreement with Palantir Technologies UK Ltd. Regular discussions on service delivery under that contract take place. As with all its procurement, NHS England procures contracts for management of health data under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 which may not require negotiation, such as where there may be call-off contracts from framework agreements.
