What are Standards?

Standards describe the technical or operating conditions required to achieve Catalogue Compliance.

Standards will be used by:

  • NHS Digital to express the business needs at the most granular level when needed
  • Suppliers to understand what is expected of them in order to be compliant and to onboard onto the Buying Catalogue
  • NHS Digital Solution Assurance to assess Supplier Solutions against in order to award compliance
  • Buyers to assess various Suppliers against each other (levels of compliance / functionality) for competitive procurements.
