## Summary

The Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government (MHCLG) has completed a procurement process for the provision of accessibility testing and auditing services for its digital services. The service aims to ensure that the digital platforms are accessible to as many users as possible. The contract, valued at GBP 3,500,000, was awarded to Digital Accessibility Centre Limited on 8th July 2025, with the contract period scheduled to begin on 2nd October 2025 and end on 1st October 2028. This procurement was managed as a call-off from a framework agreement using a selective method within the information technology services category, and it caters to both SMEs and VCSEs across the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in information technology and digital accessibility services. Companies with expertise in ensuring compliance with accessibility standards would find this tender particularly relevant, especially those in the UK looking to partner with government departments. Given the nature of the service and the involvement of SMEs, it emphasises the UK government's encouragement for smaller enterprises to engage in public procurement, fostering an inclusive business environment and aiding in business expansion through government contracts.
