## Summary

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has completed a procurement process for the project titled "ICO Web Usability Accessibility Audit," aimed at ensuring their website meets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. This project falls within the services category, specifically under computer audit services, and is located in Wilmslow, England. The procurement method utilised was a limited competitive quotation below threshold, with the total contract value set at £24,000. The contract period began on 15th November 2021 and will end on 14th November 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in web accessibility and usability audits. Companies knowledgeable in compliance with accessibility regulations can leverage this opportunity to provide essential services to the ICO and potentially expand their client base within the public sector, supporting further growth in this increasingly relevant field.

## Notice

The Buyer wishes to ensure that their website https://ico.org.uk/ (including the sub-domain https://icosearch.ico.org.uk/) is accessible to users with disabilities and complies with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 to Level A, AA & AAA, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018. The Buyer, therefore, wishes to undertake an accessibility audit of the site and receive recommendations on how to address any issues identified. Following implementation of the recommendations from the audits, the ICO may wish to have the site re-tested to check for compliance.
