DDTS need to check that these all meet the standard accessibility requirements, (Standards - WCAG 2.1 (or 2.2 when it comes out) to AA). Therefore, DDTS would like a supplier to better manage as an independent external auditing company to oversee audits and overall improve Defra "accessibility posture".
