Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by BLUELIGHT COMMERCIAL LIMITED is currently in the planning stage, centred around the provision of Language Services. This involves face-to-face and telephone interpreting, translation and transcription, alongside video/remote and fully managed services. Situated in London, United Kingdom, BLUELIGHT COMMERCIAL LIMITED, a sub-central government public authority, is managing the tender with Claire Wrightson as the contact point. The planned contract period extends from 2027 to 2035, and it is structured to potentially operate under a framework agreement. With a main procurement category classified as services within the translation sector, potential communication about the tender is expected by June 2026.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in language services. Organisations adept at providing comprehensive translation, interpreting, and transcription services, particularly those capable of managing remote and technologically-driven delivery, are well-suited to compete for this tender. Given the long-term contract duration and the substantial budget of £126,000, businesses with proven capabilities in handling large-scale, managed service contracts and innovation in language services will find ample opportunities for growth and collaboration, especially if they are accustomed to framework agreements.
