Introduction Public procurement as a tool for improving accessibility Report 1 (ETSI) Functional accessibility requirements, standards and current state of public procurement of accessible ICT Europe: Mandate M/376 functional accessibility requirements for ICT Report 2 (CEN / CENELEC) Conformity assessment schemes and supplier’s ability and capacities Phase 2 Phase 1 to verify that the products fulfil the accessibility requirements

  5. Some definitions

  6. Our approach 1. Search for existing schemes and systems 2. Model to analyze the properties of schemes and systems: Dimensions 4. Define a model to analyze a public procurement context: Criteria 3. Describe schemes and systems using the dimensions 5. Apply criteria to describe hypothetical scenarios and recommend values for dimensions

  7. The functional model Need to demonstrate fulfilment of specified requirements Selection Information on selected items Determination Information on fulfilment of specified requirements yes Surveillance needed? Review and attestation Fulfilment of specified requirements demonstrated no End

  8. The dimensions Method of determination Type of requirements Selection Determination External determination Scalability Type of party Type of party Existence Review and attestation Surveillance Detail of attestation Complaint system Publicity Other Mandatory

(contracting authority) Market surveillance Life span Competitors’ surveillance Public procurement characteristics Rate of changes Barriers to trade Adaptability Independent Expertise on accessibility Users Interoperability with assistive technologies Size of suppliers of the product Total cost of ownership

  12. The criteria Product Market Public task Type of procurement Geographical focus Type of procedure Public admin. (contracting authority) In-house expertise on accessibility Electronic procurement Public procurement characteristics Prior existence of the product Legal requirements Amount of units Risk of harm Budget Users Risk of social exclusion Liability and accountability Confidence

  13. The hypothetical scenarios

  14. Contract for mobile communications

  15. Conclusions and future work
