This accessibility statement applies to the Procurement Pathway website. It does not cover other websites to which the Procurement Pathway signposts to. Webpages referenced by an external link will have their own accessibility statements.
The website is run by the Cabinet Office. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.
The website text should be as simple as possible to understand. You should be able to:
- zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website on different devices and using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- navigate most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver).
You can read the guide on AbilityNet for advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

How accessible this website is
We know that some parts of this website are not fully accessible, for example:
- some links open in new tabs without informing users, which may impact on screen reader users
- some focus indicators are not sufficiently visible due to size or contrast, which may impact keyboard only users
- some content does not support Windows High Contrast Mode, which could impact low vision users
- some text styling could be problematic for users with cognitive or vision impairments.
