Notice Information

Notice Title

Accessibility audit for PlanX

Notice Description

The London Borough of Lambeth is working with the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) and 22 partner councils to develop PlanX - an online planning application and pre-application service for residents, developers and others involved in the planning system. We have two live services called 'Apply for a lawful development certificate', and 'Find out if you need planning permission' (FOIYNPP), with additional 'Apply for' services under development. The Council wishes to undertake an accessibility audit and diverse accessibility user testing (DAUT) of the PlanX service. The primary aim of the audit is to ensure PlanX is acting in compliance with the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018, which aims to make public sector websites accessible to all users, especially those with disabilities. The Council requires the audit to provide information as to where its new online service meets the required accessibility standards - as laid out in the regulations - and identify where it falls short. The resulting report should be clear and actionable (ideally with prioritised tasks) so that it can inform the service's ongoing development roadmap and website accessibility statement. Additional information: By submitting a tender I acknowledge and agree to the below the statements: * I have read and understood Lambeth's procurement guidance for suppliers, "Selling to the Council" * I accept the Lambeth Terms and Conditions * If I am selected to provide the above services and/or supplies this form and the information on it will form part of my contract with the London Borough of Lambeth * If I am selected to provide the above services and/or supplies and am not already set up as a supplier on the Lambeth system I will comply with Lambeth's Supplier Set-up procedures through iSupplier which includes the provision of a completed Supplier Self Certification form and Bank details on headed paper. * Lambeth is under no obligation to accept the final results of the quotation competition or the lowest price for any particular item submitted by a supplier * Non-delivery of services or products will result in non-payment by Lambeth Council * False representation could result in de-selection from any competition or termination of contract * It is a criminal offence to give or offer any gift or consideration whatsoever as an inducement or reward to any servant of a public body. I understand that any such action will empower Lambeth Council to cancel any contract or commission currently in force and may result in my exclusion from future work * Lambeth has the right to use this information for the prevention and detection of fraud
