Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Interpretation and Translation Provision" is managed by Wakefield Council Customer Service, aiming to establish a framework for interpreting and translation services across three distinct lots: community language interpreting, British Sign Language interpreting, and telephone interpreting services. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, and the contract period commences on 1 January 2017, lasting for two years with potential extensions. The tender was concluded on 20 December 2016, with an award value of £225,000, and the services will primarily be required in the Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in translation and interpreting services. Businesses that offer community language interpreting, British Sign Language services, or telephone interpretation are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, enabling them to secure substantial orders over the framework's lifespan while expanding their market reach within the public sector.
