Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council procured interpreter and translation services for its public services through the NHS SBS Framework 10519. The requirement covers both spoken-language interpreting and written translation, under the broad category of translation services (CPV 79530000). The buying organisation is Hull City Council, based in Hull, and delivery is associated with the Hull area. The awarded supplier is Language is Everything Limited, an SME specialising in the same service area. This is a council-wide language services requirement rather than a translation-only commission, so relevant providers should be able to support interpreting as well as document translation for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Language is Everything Limited. Hull City Council used a limited procedure with a direct award through the NHS SBS Framework 10519, without prior publication of a call for competition. The award date and contract signing date were 11 July 2026. The active contract is expected to run from 11 July 2026 to 10 July 2030, with an estimated value of £800,000 including the stated overall services value. One lot was used, with price as the award criterion. One bid was recorded. The arrangement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, and the direct-award rationale states that the procurement falls outside the relevant directive’s scope.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement provides clear evidence of sustained council demand for combined interpreting and translation services at substantial local-authority scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver both spoken-language interpreting and written translation, manage service delivery for Hull City Council, and operate effectively through an established public-sector framework or comparable purchasing route. The recorded award was based on price, so competitive cost control and transparent pricing would be important alongside reliable operational capacity. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that this requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national outsourcing business.
