Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the Crown Commercial Service of the Cabinet Office, centres on the title "Provision of Audit/Testing for Adherence to WCAG 2.1 AA Regulations". This service falls under the category of system quality assurance assessment and review services (CPV code: 72225000) and is located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method employed is selective, with the contract awarded following a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period lasts from 2nd July 2020 to 28th November 2020, and the total contract value amounts to £176,507.20. The tender was completed with the finalised award reported on 30th June 2020.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses engaged in quality assurance and accessibility compliance services, particularly those familiar with WCAG standards. Companies of all sizes may consider participation, though the procurement explicitly indicates non-suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Such contracts can greatly benefit firms looking to expand their reach in public sector services, especially in areas related to digital accessibility compliance and auditing.
