Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is seeking services for the translation of technical documents from German to English, with a contract value of £73,704. This procurement falls under the classification of translation services (CPV Code: 79530000) and is currently in the award stage. The tender period concluded on 5th November 2021, and the contract period spans from 19th November 2021 to 28th February 2022. The service delivery addresses include the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories, among others. This procurement was conducted via a selective method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement.

This translation tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses with expertise in language services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in technical document translation. Companies capable of providing high-quality translation from German to English, especially those familiar with technical jargon in related fields, would be well-positioned to compete. As the awarded contract has already been confirmed with K International Ltd, similar businesses may also seek future opportunities in an evolving market that demands linguistic precision and accuracy in specialized translations.
