UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hackney has concluded a public procurement process for the provision of "Interpreting and Translation Services" under the Healthtrust Europe Total Language Solutions II Framework. This contract falls under the services category and utilises a selective procurement method, specifically as an award under a framework. The process, now in the award stage, resulted in an active contract valued at £924,122 gross, intended to address the diverse needs of London's population by ensuring access to services for non-English speakers. The procurement award was published on 30th January 2026, with the contract period set to commence on 13th February 2026 and run until 10th February 2028, with potential extensions until 2030, in the region of UKI41.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses within the translation services industry to collaborate with a public authority to enhance language accessibility across the borough. Companies like THE LANGUAGE SHOP LIMITED, which are equipped to deliver comprehensive language solutions, stand to benefit from this framework call-off contract. The initiative promises growth opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialised in a diverse array of language services, which can leverage the contract's long duration and potential for renewal to solidify their presence and expand their clientele in the public sector.
