Procedure type
Open procedure (below threshold)
Any interested supplier may submit a tender in response to an opportunity 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.
