The Integrated Research Application System (IRAS) is delivered by the HRA on behalf of the IRAS partners, including the devolved administrations. The online system is used to apply for permission to start health and social care research in the UK. It contains guidance for applicants, as well as an intuitive application form. The new version of the system is built using a Pega platform. Some screen shots that show example screen already built are given in the Appendix. IRAS is being redeveloped as part of the HRA's Research Systems programme, a multi-phase agile programme of development spanning the next four years. Future modules will enable applications for additional study types to be made using the new system and will surface information from the system on a public-facing website for a non-expert audience. Users of the current modules are professionals applying for approvals for health and social care research studies. At this time the audit should focus on three key user journeys: • A user making a new application for a Clinical Trial of an Investigational Medicinal Product (CTIMP) as part of the Combined Ways of Working (CWoW) programme • A user submitting an amendment for a trial already in progress • A user booking a slot at a Research Ethics Committee The HRA is aiming for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance and would like the system to be manually tested using the following software and browser combinations: ### Software Version Browser JAWS (desktop screen reader) 18 or later Chrome ### NVDA (desktop screen reader) Latest Firefox VoiceOver (ioS screen reader) Latest Safari (version 12 or later) ### TalkBack (mobile screen read-er) Latest Chrome Windows Magnifier or Apple Zoom (screen magnifiers) Latest Any Dragon (speech recognition) 15 or later Internet Explorer 11 Read full description ## CPV classification IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice ](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/d179c6b4-007e-4a0d-b677-be8d6ce09bc8) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
