Procurement Requirements
EN 301 549 and the European Accessibility Act set mandatory accessibility requirements for ICT products and services procured by public bodies. Generate compliant RFP language, vendor scorecards, and supply chain checklists.
Common procurement challenges
Procurement teams must translate legal obligations into enforceable contract language — and verify that vendors actually deliver what they claim.
- Writing accessibility requirements for RFPs, ITTs, and framework agreements
- Assessing vendor accessibility claims and VPAT / ACR documentation
- Referencing the correct EN 301 549 clauses for web, software, hardware, and documents
- Managing supply chain compliance across multiple vendors and platforms
- Documenting procurement decisions and accessibility evidence for audit trails
The Web Accessibility Directive and EAA require public sector bodies to reference EN 301 549 (2021-03) in all ICT tenders. Use the RFP Generator to produce compliant clause language.
