Next steps

Following consultation, the QAD will be presented to the MHHS Programme Qualification Advisory Group before going to the REC and BSC Performance Assurance Boards for approval at end March 2024 and then published to participants.  

To support efficient review of information and evidence from parties, there will be two formal QAD submission stages and the timeframes for submission are set out in MHHS QA&P v1.1 Appendix C, which is subject to consultation.

This is an initial consultation for the QAD, there will be further consultations to cover Migration, Non-Functional, and Operational requirements that will be published later this year. 

Please note that Code Bodies will provide further guidance on the Evaluation Criteria for each section as part of the post consultation update to the QAD.

Although we have provided a Word version of the QAD for the purposes of this consultation, the format of the QAD submission is also likely to change to an electronic version which we will demonstrate at the appropriate QWG meeting.
