THE PROVISION OF INTERPRETATION AND TRANSLATION FOR LANCASHIRE REFUGEE INTEGRATION TEAM AND NAMED PROVIDERS
Notice Description
1.1 Lancashire County Council (the "Authority) is commissioning language support to refugees, asylum seekers, Ukrainian guests and evacuees (the "Clients") arriving, and who have previously arrived, in Lancashire under various government-funded Resettlement Schemes and requires the Services to provide support for the provision of face to face, telephone and video interpreting and document translation services for various requirements of the Resettlement Schemes. The Interpretation and Translation Services (the "Service") must provide language support to Clients who have previously arrived in Lancashire under various resettlement schemes.
Lot Information
Lot 1
The Authority, working with its partners in other councils and contracted providers, will provide a range of resettlement services across all of the areas of the Specification (although, very occasionally, face to face interpreting services may be required outside of Lancashire as well, namely at entry ports such as Manchester Airport or Liverpool Airport). The Service Provider shall ensure that the Services shall be available to the Clients for 10 hours per day, Monday to Friday during the hours of 08:00 to 18:00 excluding bank holidays. The Service Provider shall provide the Services in the form of home visits, group sessions, meetings, appointments, telephone and text contact, and document translation. It is anticipated that the need for these Services will be more acute in the first two weeks following Clients' arrival in Lancashire, when Clients are provided with an intensive orientation support package. Although the Services will be required for the full 36 months of the Initial Term (plus any agreed extensions pursuant to the provisions of this Specification and Service Contract), the out of hours requirements may vary during the Term and the Service Provider will be expected to accommodate these requirements within the terms of this contract. Should this contract be extended beyond the Initial Term, the requirements stated may change depending on the need and level of geographical dispersion across Lancashire, with more and/or other local authority areas becoming involved.
Options: Option to extend for 3 years up to a total maximum contract period of 6 years in total
Renewal: Option to extend for 3 years up to a total maximum contract period of 6 years in total
