Assurance Approach

Suppliers are to complete a Traceability Matrix (TM), providing evidence detailing how they meet the obligations of each requirement. Suppliers will be required to provide a short implementation description in Column F along with any supporting documentation which details the Training Environment provisioning.

The TM will be supplied by the NHS England Supplier Manager, following acceptance of the Supplierā€™s onboarding. The Supplier Manager will also create a SharePoint area for the uploading of evidence.
