Clinvera TAPIndependent UK technology assurance

Clinvera Ltd is an independent UK company providing governance assessment. It is not part of the NHS and does not act on the NHS’s behalf.

Prove your technology is ready for the NHS

TAP turns scattered DTAC, DPIA and clinical safety paperwork into one living record you can send to any trust. Start with a free check against the 34 requirements a buyer will actually ask about.

The verification standard

A claim and a check should never look the same

Most governance packs blur the two, and a buyer cannot tell what anybody actually read. TAP separates them everywhere they appear, in the record you keep and in the summary a trust opens.

Provided by supplier

You told us the document exists. Nobody has opened it. Useful for knowing where you stand, worth nothing to a procurement team on its own.

Checked by Clinvera· named reviewer· 12 September 2026

A named Clinvera reviewer read the document against the requirement and recorded what they found. That is the part a trust can rely on, and the part you pay for.

Comparative framework

What this replaces

Conventional route

A regulatory consultant

£8,000 to £15,000 for a static safety case

  • The PDF is out of date the moment you ship a release that changes clinical behaviour.
  • Each new trust asks the same questions again, from the beginning.
  • Nothing tells you what is expiring until somebody asks for it.
  • The knowledge leaves when the engagement ends.

Clinvera

A clinical gap review, and a record you keep

From £1,450

  • A living record that versions with your releases instead of going stale.
  • One link per trust, so the same evidence is reused rather than re-assembled.
  • Expiry dates tracked, so a lapsed certificate surfaces before a buyer finds it.
  • You keep the record whether or not you carry on with us.

Consultant figures are the market range suppliers report, not a quotation. Clinvera pricing is being confirmed before this goes live.

Scope of assessment

Six layers, 34 requirements

Not all of them will apply to you. The check works out which do, from what your technology actually does, and tells you why the rest do not.

PILLAR 017 requirements

NHS clinical safety

Statutory under the Health and Social Care Act 2012. An organisation cannot lawfully deploy health software in England without this, and it is the first thing a clinical safety officer asks for.

DCB0129DCB0160

PILLAR 029 requirements

Procurement and cyber security

The national gateway. DTAC is the baseline every NHS buyer applies, and the Data Security and Protection Toolkit is the annual assurance behind it.

DTAC ADTAC BUK GDPR

PILLAR 036 requirements

Medical device and AI regulation

Whether the technology is a medical device is a question of intended purpose, not of how it is built. Getting the answer wrong is the most expensive mistake on this list.

UK MDR 2002MHRAISO 14971

PILLAR 045 requirements

Immersive technology at the point of care

The part that is specific to headsets and immersive delivery. This is where Clinvera's own protocol work sits, and where most suppliers have nothing written down.

IEEE 3079-2020Clinical practiceHealth and Safety at Work Act

PILLAR 054 requirements

Accessibility and usability

Applies to every interface a patient or a clinician touches, and is assessed directly by DTAC.

WCAG 2.2 AAIEC 62366-1Accessibility practice for XR

PILLAR 063 requirements

Clinical evidence and training

What the technology is claimed to do has to be supported, and the people delivering it have to be competent to do so.

What a trust receives

One link, not an inbox full of attachments

An example of the summary a procurement or clinical safety lead opens. They see the status of every artefact and, for each one, whether it is your word or a Clinvera check.

Example record. Clinvera checks documents against published standards and does not approve a technology for use: that decision stays with the adopting organisation under DCB0160.

How it works

Three steps

  1. 01

    Answer the check

    About ten minutes, no account. Questions about what your technology does, who it is used with and what you already hold.

  2. 02

    See your gaps

    Which requirements apply, which you can evidence and which you cannot, with the reason anything is ruled out.

  3. 03

    Send one link to every trust

    Once a reviewer has checked your evidence, the record becomes a link you send instead of an email full of attachments.

Find out where you stand, in about ten minutes

The check is free and nothing is shared with anyone. You will know which of the 34 requirements apply to you before your next procurement conversation does.
