This article introduces the Microsoft Store capabilities from which organisations can request applications for enablement across the NHSmail shared tenant. This spans the Teams store, SharePoint store and AppSource, Microsoft’s home for verified applications.
To request an application to be enabled you need to follow the process outlined in O365 Stores Request Process – NHSmail support.
The platform also facilitates requests for custom or third-party apps subject to Technical Design Authority (TDA) approval. Please visit O365 Stores Request Process – NHSmail support for more information on all application enablement requests.
