UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust procured language translation services, including interpreting and foreign-language translation software and software development services. The requirement supports the Trust’s communication needs for its cancer-care operations. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is based on Clatterbridge Road in Bebington, Wirral. This is a services procurement rather than a goods or construction requirement, and the scope combines human language support with technology-related translation capability. The completed requirement was arranged as a single lot and was awarded to D A LANGUAGES LIMITED, a large Manchester-based supplier. Businesses operating in interpreting, translation, language technology or related software services would find the subject matter most relevant, particularly those able to support healthcare organisations across the UK.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Trust used a direct procedure below the threshold without competition. D A LANGUAGES LIMITED received the award for the single lot. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026 and has an active period from 20 July 2026 to 20 July 2026. Its value is £28,528.54 excluding tax and £34,234.25 including tax. The contract is below the relevant threshold. The award covers services classified as foreign-language translation software and foreign-language translation software development services. The contracting process used the 2023/54 legal basis. The recorded contract period is limited to one day, and the procurement has reached its final completed stage with the selected supplier in place.

This procurement demonstrates demand from an NHS cancer centre for a combined language-support and translation-technology capability, delivered across the United Kingdom. A credible future competitor would need to provide interpreting and foreign-language translation services alongside suitable software or software-development expertise, rather than offering only general administrative translation. Experience supporting healthcare organisations would help demonstrate an understanding of sensitive communications, service users and operational requirements, although the procurement does not state specific accreditations or technical qualifications. The selected supplier was a large business, indicating that capacity to provide the required service at organisational scale may be important. Suppliers should also be able to engage with a public-sector buyer through a direct, below-threshold route when similar requirements arise.
