# Palantir UK Firearms Licensing Contract [[Palantir]] won a £9 million (~$12M) UK government contract to provide and run software managing firearms licensing across the UK — holding records on guns, explosives, and poisons — for a term of up to ten years including extensions. Reported June 4, 2026. ## Significance Small in dollar terms, but it extends Palantir's penetration of sensitive UK civil databases following its NHS data-platform foothold — the value here is the government-footprint pattern, not the contract size. In scope under the foreign-deal rule because Palantir is the US-side principal. ## See Also - [[Palantir]] - [[Alex Karp]] - [[Palantir-Google Cloud Partnership]]
