Summary of the contracting process

Pembrokeshire County Council commissioned Welsh translation services to support the redevelopment of its website. The requirement covers translation work associated with the council’s website project, rather than general translation services across an unspecified range of public programmes. The buying organisation is Pembrokeshire County Council, a Welsh local authority. Delivery is in Wales, including the council’s Pembrokeshire service area. This is a service contract suited to suppliers providing Welsh-language translation for public-sector digital content, website redevelopment and related communications. Businesses with established Welsh translation capability and experience of adapting online material for public audiences would be relevant to this type of requirement. The published award identifies one service requirement and one supplier for the work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Trywydd Cyfyngedig was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The award was made on 16 September 2026 and the contract was signed on 16 September 2026. The contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT, or £59,999.99 including VAT. The contract is active. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition, so the buyer invited a restricted field of suppliers. The available outcome records identify the supplier and contract value, but do not set out a separate price-versus-quality weighting or other detailed evaluation basis. This was a single-supplier award for the website redevelopment translation requirement.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need professional Welsh translation capability focused on website and digital content, with the capacity to support a council-led redevelopment project. Suppliers should be able to manage terminology consistently across a public-facing site, work accurately from English source content and coordinate with web, communications or development teams. Experience of public-sector language requirements would help demonstrate understanding of governance, accessibility and audience needs, while evidence of reliable delivery at this scale would support credibility. The appointed supplier is recorded as an SME and a voluntary, community or social enterprise, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller organisation rather than only by a large language-services provider. The buyer is Pembrokeshire County Council, so relevant Welsh local-authority experience would be particularly useful.
