Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "The Provision of Language Services" was conducted by Leicestershire Police, aimed at securing comprehensive language services, including face-to-face and telephone interpreting, as well as video and written translation services. The contract was valued at £1,642,083.33 and covers the services for the East Midlands region in the United Kingdom. The procurement method was a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, with the tender phase concluding on 19 May 2025 and the contract awarded on 20 June 2025. The contract commenced on 1 October 2025 and is set to conclude on 31 August 2028. This tender falls under the industry category of "services," specifically translation services as per the CPV classification system.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in language and translation services. With its substantial contracted value and extended contract period, the procurement provides an ideal prospect for established, large-scale language service providers capable of managing comprehensive and diverse language solutions. Companies with experience in public sector contracts and a robust infrastructure to deliver a range of interpreting and translation services, particularly in support of law enforcement communication needs, would be well-suited to compete in such opportunities. As the contract is assigned to a supplier already, potential future opportunities in this domain may require businesses to adapt and prepare for similar procurement initiatives.
