This will be because of volumetric penalties in CSC's contract if the NHS don't identify Trusts to take their product.

Looks like the cost of the penalties is higher than paying Trusts £1M each, so the logic runs that it would be better to pay incentives to get something than having to pay out more and getting nothing.

However you play it though, the person who agreed the original contract needs a good kick in the backside.
