Call for responses: Department of Health and Social Care – Survey on Digital Technology Assessment Criteria (DTAC)
The Department of Health and Social Care is currently undertaking a review of the Digital Technology Assessment Criteria process.
As part of the review, a range of engagement activities have been facilitated, both with industry and NHS stakeholders, to understand the current challenges with the DTAC process and to identify opportunities to introduce efficiencies and potentially reduce burden on suppliers and buyers of technology within the NHS. Most recently, the Department of Health and Social Care and techUK heard evidence from a range of different stakeholders during a series of roundtables and webinars held in February 2025, which collected a significant amount of qualitative data.
NHS England has completed a provisional review of DTAC to consider how the efficiency and efficacy can be improved, hearing evidence and recommendations with industry and NHS providers.
To help inform the future changes we are seeking further feedback from those who work most closely with the assessment process.
If you are responsible for ensuring completion and maintenance of DTAC forms within your HealthTech company, please complete the survey link below. It should take no longer than 10 minutes and is available at https://digital.nhs.uk/DTACsurvey from 6 May 2025. The survey will close on 20 June 2025 23:59.
If you have any questions regarding the survey or DTAC review process, please contact [email protected].
