## Summary

The London Borough of Lambeth is seeking an accessibility audit for PlanX, an online planning application and service. The audit aims to ensure compliance with accessibility regulations and identify areas for improvement. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender period ending on January 12, 2024, and the contract period running from March 1 to April 1, 2024. The audit falls under the services category, with a focus on software and information systems, IT services, and research and development services.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses providing consulting, software development, Internet services, and related consultancy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly suitable for this procurement. With a deadline of January 12, 2024, businesses based in or serving the London area can compete. By meeting the required accessibility standards, businesses can contribute to making public sector websites more inclusive, especially for users with disabilities, and help shape the ongoing development of the PlanX service.

## Notice

The London Borough of Lambeth is working with the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) and 22 partner councils to develop PlanX - an online planning application and pre-application service for residents, developers and others involved in the planning system. We have two live services called 'Apply for a lawful development certificate', and 'Find out if you need planning permission' (FOIYNPP), with additional 'Apply for' services under development. The Council wishes to undertake an accessibility audit and diverse accessibility user testing (DAUT) of the PlanX service. The primary aim of the audit is to ensure PlanX is acting in compliance with the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018, which aims to make public sector websites accessible to all users, especially those with disabilities. The Council requires the audit to provide information as to where its new online service meets the required accessibility standards - as laid out in the regulations - and identify where it falls short. The resulting report should be clear and actionable (ideally with prioritised tasks) so that it can inform the service's ongoing development roadmap and website accessibility statement.

I understand that any such action will empower Lambeth Council to cancel any contract or commission currently in force and may result in my exclusion from future work * Lambeth has the right to use this information for the prevention and detection of fraud
