UK consortium set to bid for £480 million NHS data platform

The contentious procurement of the UK health service's £480 million Federated Data Platform – which US spy-tech firm Palantir is tipped to win – has seen a new competitor enter the fray in the form of a UK consortium of vendors.

The consortium hopes to take on Palantir, which is said to have made the lucrative project a"must-win," and – critics fear – may have an unfair advantage as its data system supported the NHS during the pandemic under a £23 million contract. Julian Brown, chief executive of Eclipse, told the FT:"We know that the NHS is a very complex system, and different from other healthcare systems around the world, particularly in terms of its meticulous protection of patient data. We were very keen that the NHS stays in control of the data ... and to reinvest the revenue in frontline NHS services."

Eclipse says it has built an IT platform to help avoid hospital admissions through analysis of patient data. Voror develops the open source Health Information Model, which is designed to combine common ontology , a common logical data model, a collection of code medical sets, and a collection of queries. Black Pear is a developer of smartphone apps and data services in the NHS.
