This initiative aims to provide accessibility-focused information and resources for people with disabilities to plan visits to the National Park. The contract, expected to run for 12 months from the award date, has a completion deadline set for no later than May 2025. This tender opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have expertise in web design, accessibility features, and content creation. Businesses experienced in developing user-friendly digital solutions and implementing SEO best practices are well-suited to compete. The procurement stage is currently in the tender period, with a deadline for submissions set for June 27, 2024. The contract will follow an open procedure (below threshold) procurement method, presenting a valuable opportunity for businesses seeking to contribute to enhancing accessibility and digital information services. ## Notice The Authority wishes to award a contract for the creation and launch of a digital access hub for the Yorkshire Dales National Park that will bring together, in one single 'go to' online location, accessibility focused information and resources to enable people with a wide range of disability to plan their visit. The hub will adopt good practice web accessibility principles in its design and feature useful information and practical advice to build confidence for disabled people getting out into nature in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. This, in the main, is a contract to create content for a digital access hub and for the creation of the digital access hub within our website. The Authority uses WordPress for its website estate and the digital access hub should also be created this way. Ideally it will sit in our multisite setup, however, if this isn't possible and the digital access hub is created as a standalone site then it will need to appear as if it is part of the main website - https://www.yorkshiredales.org.uk. In terms of a user experience the digital access hub must work seamlessly with the main site in terms of look and feel, functionality and usability. The site must, as a minimum, include: * An interactive map showing location and grading of miles without stiles routes, and key information such as accessible toilets, changing places, parking viewpoints and accessible tourism businesses. * Easy access guides to enable people to get the most out of their visit to the National Park. This content should also be available to download. * Easy to follow route instructions for the 'miles without stiles' routes in the National Park. This content should also be available to download. * Easy to follow audio descriptions of key miles without stiles routes. * The aggregation and creation of photographic and video content to support the navigation of individual routes. * The creation of filmed and printed accessible guides to our Grassington, Hawes, Malham and Aysgarth Falls, National Park Visitor Centre's. * Detailed information about local tramper hire, accessible adventure activities, accessible accommodation providers and accessible businesses. The contract is expected to run for 12-months from date the contract is awarded. It is expected that the access hub will launch no later than May 2025. The digital access hub should be developed with SEO best practice in mind and connected to our Google analytics reporting function.
