Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council has commissioned interpreter and translation services through the NHS Shared Business Services Framework 10519. The requirement covers spoken interpreting and written translation to support the council’s public services. The contracting authority is Hull City Council, based in Hull, and the appointed supplier, AA Global Language Services Limited, is also based in Hull. This is a services procurement in the translation services category (CPV 79530000). The requirement is focused on language-access provision for the authority rather than general consultancy, technology, or document production. Businesses with established interpreter and translation operations serving local-authority requirements would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to provide both interpreting and written translation through a framework route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Hull City Council used a limited procedure: a direct award through the NHS SBS Framework 10519, without prior publication of a call for competition. One bid was recorded, and price was the award criterion. AA Global Language Services Limited received the active award, and the associated contract is active. The contract was signed on 11 July 2026 and is anticipated to run from 11 July 2026 to 10 July 2030. Its estimated value is £800,000 including the stated overall services value. The single lot is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award demonstrates sustained local-authority demand for a combined interpreting and translation service delivered through a public-sector framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide both spoken language interpreting and written translation, with the operational capacity to support a council-wide public-service need over a multi-year contract. The appointed supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist language-services business rather than only by a large corporate provider. Experience of working with councils or similar public bodies, reliable allocation of interpreters, quality control for translated material, and the ability to respond consistently across a range of languages would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next considers the same service.
