Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will list the (a) key performance indicators and (b) social value requirements for Palantir’s contracts with his Department.

The Ministry of Defence’s contracts with Palantir are managed in line with standard government commercial practices, including performance management and social value obligations. Performance is monitored through proportionate contractual measures such as delivery, service performance, security compliance and value for money, while social value requirements reflect government policy, including support for UK skills, innovation and the defence technology sector. For reasons of commercial confidentiality and security, it would not be appropriate to publish detailed contractual performance indicators.
