Accessibility Procurement: buy technology that actually works for everyone.

71.5% of organisations include accessibility requirements in solicitations — but nearly half never verify what they purchase. Zylyn helps you define requirements, evaluate vendor claims, and test products before you sign a contract that commits you to inaccessible technology.

Why procurement accessibility matters

Post-purchase remediation costs 10× what pre-purchase evaluation does. Buying inaccessible tools creates legal exposure and harm for employees and customers with disabilities. Vendor VPATs are self-reported and often inaccurate. Zylyn evaluates VPATs critically and tests shortlisted products hands-on with assistive technology to verify claims before you commit. We also write accessibility requirements for RFPs, evaluate vendor conformance documentation, produce comparative analyses of finalist options, and develop accessible contract language.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about procurement services.

The process of evaluating and selecting digital tools and technologies that meet accessibility standards before purchase. It prevents the much more expensive problem of discovering inaccessibility after you've committed to a vendor.

Inaccessible tools create legal exposure, harm employees and customers with disabilities, and are very expensive to remediate after the contract is signed. Pre-purchase evaluation is the most cost-efficient intervention.

Vendor VPATs are self-reported and often inaccurate. We evaluate VPATs critically and test shortlisted products hands-on with assistive technology to verify claims before you commit.

Rarely does any vendor fully conform. We help you understand the gap, assess the vendor's remediation commitment, and develop contract language that holds them accountable for closing it.

Yes. We provide training so your team can evaluate accessibility requirements, read VPATs critically, and ask the right questions in vendor conversations — building internal capability rather than a permanent dependency.
