The national assurance service delivers a solution for NHSE that supports contractors and commissioners to work more efficiently and to deliver better services, directly supporting the ambitions of the 10 Year Plan and NHSE objectives to improve effective access to care, increase preventative interventions, become more digitally enabled and reduce inequalities.

This requirement relates to national assurance services delivered by NHSBSA. While the services are provided by an NHS arm’s length body, NHS England is publishing this notice on a precautionary basis under the Procurement Act 2023
