The Scottish Government's Directorate for Community Health and Social Care, Social Care Support Division requires a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to provide a fully managed online Video Relay Interpreting Service (VRS). The purpose of the service (called "contactSCOTLAND-BSL") is to enable Scottish Deaf and Deafblind British Sign Language (BSL) users to access and interact with public sector bodies, third sector services, the private sector and family and friends (hereafter referred to as services, family and friends). The contactSCOTLAND-BSL service will offer Scotland's 6,500 BSL users the means to communicate, in real-time, with services, family and friends via video-call and a BSL/English interpreter. The BSL user contacts the service through a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet or desktop computer and signs via the camera to the online BSL/English interpreter, who in turn calls (telephones) the services or family or friends and relays the call between the two.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
Renewal: Optional 24 month extension.
