## Summary

The University of Exeter is initiating a tender for a "Virtual Simultaneous Translation Meeting Space" to facilitate face-to-face communication among partners located in four different countries, amidst travel restrictions due to Covid-19. This tender falls under the translation services category (CPV code 79530000) and is currently at the tender stage. The deadline for submissions is 9th July 2020. The contract is expected to start on 1st August 2020 and run until 31st October 2020, with delivery addresses located in the South West of the United Kingdom. The procurement method is open, indicating that any interested parties can submit a proposal.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the translation and digital communication sectors. Companies specialising in remote communication solutions, particularly those with capabilities in providing simultaneous translation services, are well-suited to compete. Furthermore, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) could benefit from this contract, as the University of Exeter intends to enhance its engagement with diverse service providers. Participating in this procurement could lead to long-term partnerships and valuable experience in serving higher education institutions.

## 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.
