London's proposed £50m deal for Palantir to automate criminal intelligence analysis was blocked after the policing oversight body found police had considered only one supplier, constituting a breach of procurement rules.

Sadiq Khan agreed to have his texts and emails searched as part of a High Court battle with Palantir after he blocked a £50m two-year deal for the US company to provide AI technology to automate intelligence analysis for the Metropolitan Police. The Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime said the Met had committed a clear and serious breach of procurement rules by seriously considering only one supplier, prompting Palantir to sue in June.
