Government officials had argued that it was feasible to hand the running of the Federated Data Platform (FDP), which Palantir is contracted to build, to another provider, people familiar with the discussions said. They have begun quietly exploring the technical process of removing Palantir from NHS systems in advance of any decision to use the original contract's break clause in 2027. "We are confident we could do it if we wanted to," said a senior government figure. The official stressed that the assessment was not prompted by specific dissatisfaction with Palantir.
