It's not clear to me that this has anything to do with the covid app (let alone the "rights" to data), rather than general data management contracts with some sketchy looking bonuses given to the successful bidders. Maybe I'm missing something? Regardless, I hope campaigners manage to get the full story on what the contracts do say and allow.
(as far as I can tell, the rights being described in the article are derived rights to IP which emerge from their work, not rights to data. But keen to be corrected if wrong)

Despite a legal challenge over data privacy, the rights to Covid app data use are already sold.
