## Summary

The procurement process pertains to the "ESCC JC Translation and Interpreting Framework," managed by East Sussex County Council (ESCC). This framework, classified under interpretation services, aims to provide community interpreting, translation, and bi-lingual advocacy services across East Sussex, West Sussex, Brighton and Hove, and Surrey. The framework, estimated to allow for a maximum spend of £15,000,000, spans from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2026. It recently completed its award stage on 23 November 2021, following a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure. The tender period concluded on 9 June 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in translation and interpreting services. Companies specialising in community engagements, language services, and advocacy are particularly well-suited to compete. The multi-supplier framework offers a platform for various suppliers to engage with multiple public sector bodies, potentially increasing their market reach and service delivery in a cooperative environment.

## Notice

East Sussex County Council ('ESCC') is acting as lead authority for a multi-supplier framework to provide community interpreting, translation and bi-lingual advocacy services, enabling public sector bodies to meet their commitment to delivering accessible services to the communities of East Sussex, West Sussex, Brighton and Hove and Surrey (the 'Framework'). The services will be split into 6 Lots and will be available to use by the authorities listed under Section VI.3 (Additional Information) of the Contract Notice and Schedule 6 of the Framework Agreement. Although maximum Framework spend has been estimated at ?15,000,000 there is no guaranteed spend as it will depend on the number of public sector bodies using it.
