Provision of Accessibility Audit services to the HRA RS programme:
The Health Research Authority is seeking a supplier to provide an accessibility audit of the first modules of a new online service, ahead of GDS assessment in December 2020.
The Integrated Research Application System (IRAS) is delivered by the HRA on behalf of the IRAS partners, including the devolved administrations. The online system is used to apply for permission to start health and social care research in the UK. It contains guidance for applicants, as well as an intuitive application form. The new version of the system is built using a Pega platform. Some screen shots that show example screen already built are given in the Appendix.
IRAS is being redeveloped as part of the HRA's Research Systems programme, a multi-phase agile programme of development spanning the next four years. Future modules will enable applications for additional study types to be made using the new system and will surface information from the system on a public-facing website for a non-expert audience.
Users of the current modules are professionals applying for approvals for health and social care research studies.
At this time the audit should focus on three key user journeys:
⢠A user making a new application for a Clinical Trial of an Investigational Medicinal Product (CTIMP) as part of the Combined Ways of Working (CWoW) programme
⢠A user submitting an amendment for a trial already in progress
⢠A user booking a slot at a Research Ethics Committee
The HRA is aiming for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance and would like the system to be manually tested using the following software and browser combinations:
Software Version Browser
JAWS (desktop screen reader) 18 or later Chrome
NVDA (desktop screen reader) Latest Firefox
VoiceOver (ioS screen reader) Latest Safari (version 12 or later)
TalkBack (mobile screen read-er) Latest Chrome
Windows Magnifier or Apple Zoom (screen magnifiers) Latest Any
Dragon (speech recognition) 15 or later Internet Explorer 11
