Met Police gets 12-month Palantir pilot extension after Sadiq Khan blocks £50m deal over procurement breach
By

Summary
The Metropolitan Police have received a 12-month extension to continue a pilot project with US spy-tech firm Palantir, after London Mayor Sadiq Khan blocked a £50m deal between the force and the company. The mayor's office had cited a "clear and serious breach" of procurement rules, noting that police had seriously considered only one supplier. The extension allows the pilot to continue while the Met conducts a proper procurement process for a long-term supplier.
