## Summary

The West Midlands Combined Authority has successfully completed the procurement process for an Accessibility Audit. This contract involved commissioning an external supplier to deliver an audit of various websites and subdomains, with the objective of producing ten accessibility statements that comply with WCAG 2.2 legislation. The procurement method was limited competition, as the project was below the threshold for wider competitive tendering. Having sought three quotes, the Authority selected the most cost-effective supplier, ARAGORN HOSTING LTD, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Chichester. The contract, valued at £29,500 (plus VAT for a gross amount of £35,400), spans from 11th December 2025 to 31st March 2026, reflecting the continued effort to enhance website accessibility compliance across the region.

This tender presents opportunities for growth particularly in the domain of computer audit consultancy services. Businesses specialising in computer audit, testing, and consultancy are well-suited to compete for similar contracts, especially if they can provide cost-efficient solutions within compliance frameworks like WCAG 2.2. SMEs which are agile, cost-effective, and have expertise in auditing and compliance services stand to benefit from such opportunities. The contracting process for this procurement highlights the importance of competitive pricing and specialised knowledge in making bids attractive to public authorities, thereby opening doors for businesses focused on offering such niche services.
