## Summary

The University of Exeter has recently completed a procurement process for a web-based meeting space with simultaneous translation, titled "Virtual Simultaneous Translation Meeting Space." This procurement falls under the translation services category (CPV code: 79530000) and took place primarily in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure, and the tender period closed on 9 July 2020. The resulting contract, valued at £24,000, commenced on 16 September 2020 and will run until 31 December 2020.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses specializing in translation services and virtual communication platforms, particularly those with expertise in delivering services across multiple languages and countries. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as they are identified as suitable for this procurement. Businesses that can provide innovative technological solutions for remote meetings and ensure high-quality language translation will be particularly well-positioned to compete for contracts like this in the changing landscape of public procurement.

## Notice

With partners located in 4 different countries, and speaking 4 different languages, we require regular face to face communication. With the travel restrictions placed on the UK as a result of Covid-19 we are seeking an external partner to offer a web based meeting space with simultaneous translation. It would be essential for meeting participants to choose the language they wish to hear the meeting in, and have a chat space for sending messages between each other, with preferably a translation option. A virtual space for 2 translators to work together to communicate between themselves away from meeting attendants would be beneficial.
