The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, for what reason his Department ceased using Palantir software; and on what date the contract ended.

Answered by Chris Ward

The previous government signed a contract with Palantir between 31 August 2020 and 31 August 2024 for the development and delivery of a Border Flow Tool. The service was for the provision of data to support decision making for the EU exit transition period, which concluded with the introduction of the Border Target Operating Model (BTOM).
