Assurance Approach

  • MAY Epics describe additional functionality and these can be selected by Suppliers, but are not mandatory. If selected, Suppliers will be assessed against this Epic as per the Capability Assessment process and this will be a high level assessment based on the Acceptance Criteria defined.

  • If selected, Suppliers will be asked to demonstrate their mitigations against the pre-identified risks through completion of the NHS England Solution Assurance Capability Risk Review process.
