## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has completed a procurement process titled "Translation of scientific papers," which falls under the industry category of translation services. This tender, valued at £22,777.63, was awarded to TBW Global following a limited procurement method known as competitive quotation, which is employed for contracts below the threshold. The evaluation period for submissions ended on 6th July 2021, with the contract period commencing on 10th August 2021 and running until 7th September 2021. The delivery addresses for this contract include multiple locations, notably including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in translation services. Businesses with capabilities in translating scientific documents are particularly well-suited for such contracts, as organisations like the Ministry of Defence often require specialised language services to support research and development. Engaging in this type of procurement can help SMEs diversify their client base and expand their service offerings within the public sector.
