When the certificate is issued, the Supplier will be asked to provide details for the NHS Digital web hosted ITK conformance catalogue which is a list of conformant products, with links to the company websites of the Supplier of those products.
Once the ITK conformance certificate has been granted, the Supplier will be asked to seek end user approval of the developed Client and readiness to accept the service. This then leads to NHS Digital issuing the relevant agreements to the supplier and end user organisation.
