NHS Improvement contracts with AI tech companies

NHS Improvement did not have the information requested.

Dear NHS Improvement,

I am writing to request a list of any contracts signed between NHS Improvement and any of the Artificial Intelligence tech companies Deepmind, Swiftkey, Babylon Health, Faculty Science Limited and Palantir between the beginning of 2019 and June 24, 2020.

These companies have been actively engaging and promoting their services to the NHS, but I am not certain that all the contracts signed by these companies and public bodies have been published on the ContractsFinder website, and this is why I would like to request a specific list of any contracts which have been signed by NHS Improvement with these firms.

Yours faithfully,

John Lubbock
