Procuring Accessible Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) (English)
| Description |
| When buying software, hardware and other kinds of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), if we don’t ask for accessibility, we won’t get it. What contract language and processes will help us reach the Government of Canada’s goal of being “the most accessible public service in the world”?
This session will give you an overview of the Accessible Canada Act, the Accessibility Strategy for the Public Service of Canada, roles and responsibilities of technical and contracting authorities, and how SSC is supporting the procurement of accessible ICT goods and services. Through this session, you will also learn about SSC’s approach to accessible ICT procurement. Participants may adapt this approach to suit their own department’s needs. Additional resources: We encourage participants to retrieve the SSC Accessible ICT Procurement Guide from the OPSA procurement GCpedia page, as it provides additional details and important supplementary information. If you have any questions or require accommodation for this session, please contact the AAACT Events team by 19 April, 2023 so we can make arrangements in advance.
