## Summary

Historic England has concluded the procurement process for a "Website Accessibility Audit Brief". The contract, classified under computer audit consultancy and hardware consultancy services (CPV code: 72150000) with an additional classification for auditing services (CPV code: 79212000), aims to ensure their website complies with WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility standards. Located in Swindon, Wiltshire, United Kingdom, Historic England utilised an open procedure for this tender, which spanned from the tender period ending on 25th November 2024 to the contract period from 28th November 2024 to 31st March 2025. The awarded contract, valued at £8,900, was granted to Web Usability and officially announced on 18th December 2024.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in web accessibility and auditing services. Companies with expertise in ensuring compliance with accessibility standards can leverage this project to demonstrate their capabilities to an established public sector client like Historic England. The clear and actionable audit report required by Historic England can inform ongoing and future development roadmaps, presenting repeated business prospects for firms excelling in this area. While the project did not emphasise suitability for SMEs or VCSEs, any proficient agency in web audit consultancy can capitalise on such opportunities.

## Notice

Historic England is seeking a qualified agency to conduct a comprehensive web accessibility audit of our website, historicengland.org.uk. The goal is to ensure our site complies with accessibility standards, primarily WCAG 2.2 Level AA, and is usable and accessibility for individuals with disabilities. Historic England expects the audit to provide information about where its website meets the required accessibility standard, as laid out in the guidelines and where it falls short. The resulting report should be clear and actionable (ideally with prioritised tasks), so that it can inform Historic England's ongoing development roadmap and website accessibility statement.
