In principal this will be WCAG A, and it will be stated in the contract. However, I need to think a bit more about this. Much of the content is likely to be map based. I can't think how to write a text equivalent for a map (referenced via longdesc or otherwise), since different users will look at a map and extract different content from it, and hence by definition, one user's "text equivalent" of a map won't be the same as another's. The devil, as always, is in the detail!
