## Internal testing and audits | ||
|
||
You should be carrying out testing within the team on your service to make sure it's meeting the minimum accessibility requirements. | ||
|
||
Some teams will have testers and team members that can test and audit services to WCAG 2.1 AA standard. However, there are a range of tools and services available to carry out basic testing yourself. | ||

Otherwise, you will need to find an external supplier to carry out an audit. | ||
|
||
### External audit | ||
|
||
An external audit will be more comprehensive and include users with accessibility needs. It will also take longer to complete as you will need to allow for the time for procurement plus agencies rarely will have immediate availability. Allow 1-3 months for the audit to be arranged and carried out. | ||
|
||
Contact the [Digital and Technologies Contracts]([email protected]) team. They might have an existing contract in place that can be used for an audit or they can help you to procure a supplier through the <a href="https://www.digitalmarketplace.service.gov.uk/" >Digital Marketplace</a>. | ||
It can cost from £3,000 to have an audit done, so this should be budgeted for. | ||
