NHS Baseline Standard

Built on the February 2026 DTAC Refresh

The Digital Technology Assessment Criteria (DTAC) — refreshed February 2026, effective 6 April 2026 — is the NHS baseline for assessing health and care technologies. Roughly 25% fewer questions with closer alignment to NICE. Every product listed in our Procurement Hub is evaluated across all five pillars.

Pillar 1

Clinical Safety

DCB0129 & DCB0160 compliance evidence. Every listed product carries a Clinical Safety Case reference.

Pillar 2

Data Protection

UK GDPR, DSPT alignment, and data flow mapping — verified for all listed software and apps.

Pillar 3

Technical Assurance

Infrastructure, hosting, cyber security, and code quality standards assessed against NHS DSP Toolkit.

Pillar 4

Interoperability

FHIR R4, HL7, and NHS API standards. Seamless integration with NHS Spine and EPR systems.

Pillar 5

Usability & Accessibility

WCAG 2.2 AA, NHS Service Manual alignment, and real-world usability testing by clinical end-users.

DTAC replaces the old Digital Assessment Questionnaire (DAQ) from 6 April 2026. Learn more on NHS England

DTAC Compliance Passport

A developer completes their DTAC/DPIA/PAQ once on NHSCareHub. The assessment is version-controlled and reusable across every trust that wants to buy that app — solving the “assessment passportability” problem NHS England flagged in 2021 and still hasn't fixed.

Five-Pillar Assessment

Reusable across all NHS trusts and ICSs. This assessment is version-controlled and can be submitted to any trust procurement team without re-assessment — reducing duplicated DTAC work for every buyer.

One assessment, any trust

Developers complete DTAC documentation once. NHSCareHub hosts and version-controls it, making it instantly available to every procuring trust without rework.

Aligned to Apr 2026 DTAC

The Feb 2026 DTAC refresh cut 25% of duplicate questions. Our passport structure maps exactly to the new five-pillar format — no legacy DAQ confusion.

Audit-ready for trusts

Every passport generates a timestamped PDF for CQC, DSPT, and internal procurement records. Suitable as evidence in a trust's own DTAC deployer assessment.

Layer 3 — Legal Rail

As marketplace operator, NHSCareHub sits between developer and trust — which creates specific legal obligations. This framework pushes clinical safety, MHRA, and data controller liability to the correct party.
