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.
