Palantir has done that before. For years that gave surveillance tech to the New Orleans police for free. It was in part to have a live testing grounds, and in part to have proof of concept to then sell it to other cities. I presume they were using any info the collected to try to make money on the side with no regard for privacy (it is Palantir after all). The price tag most likely reflects that this is something they are using the UK health records to beta test (while of course having no respect for data privacy).
