## Summary

The procurement process titled "Interpretation and Translation Provision" is managed by Wakefield Council Customer Service, aiming to establish a framework for interpreting and translation services across three distinct lots: community language interpreting, British Sign Language interpreting, and telephone interpreting services. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, and the contract period commences on 1 January 2017, lasting for two years with potential extensions. The tender was concluded on 20 December 2016, with an award value of £225,000, and the services will primarily be required in the Yorkshire and the Humber region.
