Summary of the contracting process

The Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (Rotherham MBC) is currently conducting a tender for "16-075 Translations & Interpretation Services" within the business services industry, specifically focusing on law, marketing, consulting, and other related fields. This tender is in the active planning stage, with a submission deadline set for 21 November 2019. The contract, with a total value of £500,000, will cover services required to support communication access needs, such as translation and interpretation in multiple languages, for a diverse population in the Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This opportunity presents significant potential for growth, especially for businesses that specialise in linguistic services, accessible formats, and communication aids for individuals with disabilities. Companies that offer telephone and face-to-face interpretation, as well as translation services, will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. A focus on delivering high-quality, culturally sensitive services will be crucial, given the diverse range of languages and formats needed by Rotherham MBC to address the communication requirements of its constituency.
