Summary of the contracting process

Wigan Council recently completed a public procurement process to select a provider for their Sign Language Interpreting and Communication Support Service across the Wigan Borough. The tender aimed to support residents who communicate via sign language to ensure easy and equitable access to various services, thereby maximising their independence, health, and wellbeing. The procurement process was managed through an open procedure. The contract is valued at £225,000 and spans from 2nd December 2024 to 1st December 2027. Key dates included the publication of the tender on 18th July 2024 and the closing of the tender period on 16th August 2024. The awarded contract was published on 29th October 2024, with Bolton Deaf Society selected as the supplier. The contract falls under the "Other community, social and personal services" industry category, targeting service delivery within the United Kingdom, specifically in England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in community and social services, particularly those with expertise in providing language support services. The project is particularly suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), aligning with Wigan Council's commitment to an asset-based approach to community support. Potential suppliers can benefit from long-term engagement and the possibility of playing a crucial role in enhancing the accessibility and inclusivity of services for residents relying on sign language. This initiative underscores the importance of partnering with dynamic and competent providers to achieve the council's strategic objectives.
