The problem with our dependency on Big Tech is evident in Palantir's NHS contract.

Signing up to a 'subscription service' for one company's exclusive software leaves us with nothing when we end the contract.

With open source, we don't have to start again with a new platform when changing vendors.

UK weighs break clause in Palantir NHS deal

: £330M deal leaves service with no ownership of software built to connect trusts to the platform

Handing out contracts to Big Tech platforms is a rip off.

If we don't like the over-charging, tax-dodging and exporting profits overseas, we face the nightmare of vendor lock-in.

They own the software, so love it or lose it.

We call for UK Digital Sovereignty to turn the tide.
