Summary of the contracting process

The Coventry City Council has completed an award for the "Language Services Framework," focusing on translation and interpretation services, categorized under the CPV code 79530000 and 79540000. This procurement process falls under the "selective" method and was initiated through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract commenced on 1st February 2021 and extends to 31st January 2025, with an annual budget of £75,000, amounting to a potential total value of £300,000 over the full term. Delivery of services is to take place in the West Midlands, United Kingdom, with key activities wrapped up as of 3rd November 2020.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specializing in this area may find themselves well-suited to compete for awards under this framework, given the flexible allocation of work based on identified needs by the council. Notably, the total contract value indicates a sustained demand for these services over the next few years, allowing successful bidders to plan for business growth and service expansion.
