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.
