## Summary

This process focused on the Computer audit and testing services industry and has reached the Award stage.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the digital services domain, particularly those specialising in usability testing and user experience design. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find this contract beneficial as the project requires expertise in developing user-friendly online applications. Companies that offer research and usability services or that have experience in enhancing digital efficiency will be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future.

## Notice

We are aiming to deliver a number of services (both new and updated) that will each contribute to the overall success of the change portfolio. Some of these projects are either planned or have already started and this portfolio of projects is called TRIPOD - Transforming the IPO Digitally. In support of delivering these projects we need to provide user testing to ensure that we are: i. developing services and online content to meet customer need; and ii. improving the implementation of digital services and driving up efficiency and value. We want to run two usability studies to determine whether customers at both ends of web sophistication and IP knowledge are able to successfully complete the online application forms.
