Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust involves the provision of translation and interpretation services, encompassing face-to-face, telephone, remote, and document translation. Situated in Carshalton, United Kingdom, the NHS Trust has completed the tender process under the services category. Language Line Solutions, a supplier based in London, was awarded the contract through a direct award method, effective from 14th May 2026 to 30th September 2026, with a potential extension up to 31st March 2027 if necessary. The procurement followed the guidelines under UK legislation 2023/54, with the contract carrying a gross value of £147,600.

This tender creates avenues for businesses specialising in translation and interpretation services, particularly those able to deliver comprehensive service formats such as remote and document translation. Large organisations, like Language Line Solutions, who are equipped to manage and deliver professional language services may find significant growth opportunities through such contracts. However, the assignment's suitability for small or medium enterprises (SMEs) was considered, indicating that smaller firms with the necessary capabilities might also compete effectively if they can ensure service delivery aligns with the rigorous standards expected in healthcare-related environments.
