## Summary

The procurement process is initiated by Telford & Wrekin Council for the tender titled "GB-Telford: Non-verbal Communication Services", which falls under the interpretation services industry category. Located in the West Midlands, this open procedure tender has a submission deadline of 6th July 2018, and the resulting contract is scheduled to commence on 1st August 2018, running until 31st July 2023. With an estimated value of £25,000, potential suppliers are advised that service demands may vary, and selection will be based on defined evaluation criteria, including social value considerations.

However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. The Estimated Value of Requirement is an indication only as the number of bookings can vary depending on circumstances and therefore no guarantee of volumes can be given. The Council places an emphasis on social value and considers how contracts can deliver the maximum benefit to the local community, therefore The Request for Quote (RFQ) includes questions relating to social well-being, which will form part of the evaluation criteria and members from Telford's Deaf Community will evaluate some of the questions asked (more details in the RFQ).
