Each of the standards feed into the Equality Act 2010.
If you are building anything which runs in a browser, you will need to meet the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018.
If you are procuring hardware or software you will need to meet the EN 301 549 Accessibility Requirements for ICT products and services.
