Answer
The current contract for the NHS Federated Data Platform is for seven years, ending in 2031, with the initial term ending March 2027.
Advice is given regularly on the contract and performance, and ministers have been given advice on the need for a decision this year on the extension of the contract in line with standard contract management processes.
We continuously assess performance against the contract, and performance of the programme as a whole, and publish data on uptake and benefits each quarter.
