Palantir: Contracts
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if his Department will review the suitability of UK Government contracts with Palantir.
Answered by Chris Ward
All contracts for any firm go through rigorous departmental processes and their decision makers. Contracts procured by Government departments are done so in line with procurement law. This was the case with all contracts to Palantir.
We utilise a range of suppliers based on operational requirements, value for money, and compliance with our security and legal obligations, with all suppliers subject to rigorous due diligence. There are robust processes in place to ensure government contracts are awarded fairly and transparently.
