Website content quality assurance and accessibility

The Government of Yukon, through its eServices for Citizens branch, has issued Request for Qualifications RFQ-2026-8-5535 to establish a Prequalification List of suppliers capable of providing a tool or service to monitor content quality and accessibility across its digital landscape. The primary focus is the Yukon.ca website, which consists of approximately 17,000 pages, along with other key sites including TravelYukon.com, BetterToKnow.ca, and YukonCareerPaths.ca. The required solution must support WCAG 2.2 AA compliance and provide capabilities for accessibility scanning, PDF quality reporting—including the identification of documents older than five years—and the detection of broken links and spelling errors in both English and French. Additionally, the tool must integrate with Development and User Acceptance Testing environments to resolve issues prior to production. This is the first stage of a two-stage procurement process; therefore, pricing must not be included in the initial response. To be eligible for the Prequalification List, respondents must score at least 1,127 out of a possible 1,610 technical points, with evaluations covering corporate structure, northern knowledge, and experience. Special emphasis is placed on Yukon First Nation participation, and respondents must provide details on initiatives taken to involve Indigenous businesses. All submissions must be made electronically via the designated bidding system by the deadline of November 2, 2026, and must be received at least 24 hours prior to closing to be considered.
