Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University is seeking tenders for the provision of British Sign Language interpretation services. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically for interpretation services and is currently at the tender stage with a submission deadline of 27 May 2021. The estimated value of the contract is £192,000. Suppliers are expected to provide interpretation covering various direct learning activities including lectures and seminars. The successful provider may need to adapt to changing circumstances due to increased demand in support requests following Covid-19 restrictions, and support may be needed both on-campus and off-campus.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in interpretation services, particularly those equipped to deliver high-quality British Sign Language support. Suppliers who have experience working in educational environments and are familiar with the requirements of working with deaf students will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, those businesses that can offer flexible service provisions, including remote assistance and blended learning solutions, will have a competitive edge in fulfilling the needs outlined by Nottingham Trent University.

Notice Title

2017 Sign Language Interpreter Services

Notice Description

Nottingham Trent University is seeking Tenders from Suppliers who are capable of providing a high-quality British Sign Language interpretation service for deaf students, in a range of direct learning and teaching activities.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Nottingham Trent University is seeking Tenders from Suppliers who are capable of providing a high-quality British Sign Language interpretation service for deaf students, in a range of direct learning and teaching activities. This shall include as a minimum interpretation of lectures, seminars, workshops and tutorials. Activities outside of direct teaching activities do not form part of this contract. Due to the ever-changing nature of the work environment and external driving factors, the University needs to increase access to this service provision and enhance online provision to support management of increased support requests. Post Covid-19 restrictions, the successful Supplier should still be in a position to offer some off-campus support as part of a blended learning approach. Currently provision is largely provided Monday-Friday during term time with some ad hoc assignments in the evenings and/or at weekends. Some out of term support may be required where students are repeating assessments or to facilitate meetings with prospective students during the summer months. Within the previous year, the average number of hours required under this contract can vary depending on the number students and the type of course, and thus the level of support the Service User requires. We anticipate based on previous years information, around 1,500 to 2000 hours per year. The University provides no assurances or guarantees in regard to the level of future business awarded against this Contract.

Renewal: 2 year + 1 + 1
