This tender is in the active planning stage, with a submission deadline set for 21 November 2019. The contract, with a total value of £500,000, will cover services required to support communication access needs, such as translation and interpretation in multiple languages, for a diverse population in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. This opportunity presents significant potential for growth, especially for businesses that specialise in linguistic services, accessible formats, and communication aids for individuals with disabilities. Companies that offer telephone and face-to-face interpretation, as well as translation services, will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. A focus on delivering high-quality, culturally sensitive services will be crucial, given the diverse range of languages and formats needed by Rotherham MBC to address the communication requirements of its constituency. ## Notice RMBC and its partners require interpretation, translation and alternative formats of communication services. The languages required include Albanian, Arabic, British Sign Language, Mandarin, Czech, Farsi, Hungarian, Kurdish, Lingala, Lithuanian, and Mirpur dialect, Oromo, Polish, Punjabi, Pashto, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Somali and Urdu. Rotherham also has a large number of disabled people in the Borough, many of whom have a range of communication access needs. These include the provision of information in Large Print, on Audio Tape, Braille, and interpretation in British Sign Language (and other communication methods used by Deaf, Hard of Hearing and Deaf Blind People). We also provide information in Easy Read for people with learning Disability/Difficulty/ and low levels of literacy. The Council are looking to identify a single service provider for each of the five service areas outlined below (telephone interpretation, face to face interpretation, accessible formats, translation and alternative formats) on a framework agreement basis, in a timely, cost-effective way. The services provided must meet the highest standards of quality based on both the needs of the customer and the Council. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/af66a840-59b7-4cb9-ab43-85c57a652888 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Oct 2019 | | Submission deadline | 30 Nov 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 Dec 2019 - 8 Dec 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ROTHERHAM MBC | | Locality | ROTHERHAM | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S60 1AE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE34 Rotherham | | Local authority | Rotherham | | Electoral ward | Boston Castle | | Westminster constituency | Rotherham | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 31 Oct 2019 at 16:27 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/af66a840-59b7-4cb9-ab43-85c57a652888 - 31 Oct 2019 at 15:48 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/668d34b0-5046-4040-b161-49e5c2c8c06f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/af66a840-59b7-4cb9-ab43-85c57a652888 31st October 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/668d34b0-5046-4040-b161-49e5c2c8c06f 31st October 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.rotherham.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
