The contract, valued at £200,000, covers a range of language service requirements including interpretation, translation, and additional services, with a delivery address located in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The tender period concluded on 1st December 2021, and the contract commenced on 23rd December 2021, extending until 23rd December 2025.
