## Summary

Bath Spa University procured interpreter support, classified as interpretation services (CPV 79540000). The requirement was for language interpretation services, with delivery in the South West of England. The buyer was Bath Spa University. The procurement is described as interpreter support, without further breakdown of the service, languages, settings or user groups. The work falls within services and is relevant to suppliers providing interpreting for public-sector or educational organisations in the South West. The selected supplier, SigningWorks Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement therefore represents a university’s demand for interpreter support rather than a broader translation, accessibility or language consultancy project.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to SigningWorks Ltd through a direct award. The award was made on 17 April 2025, and the contract ran from 17 April to 31 July 2025. The awarded contract value was £43,614.84. The response deadline was 16 April 2025. The tender’s estimated value was also £43,614.84. The procurement was not divided into lots. Bath Spa University marked the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while the recorded evaluation criteria, eligibility requirements and scoring basis are not described in the available process details. The contract period and award date show that the interpreter support was a short-term service engagement. No separate contract-signing date is recorded.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates Bath Spa University’s demand for interpreter support delivered in the South West, on a small-scale, short-duration engagement. SigningWorks Ltd, an SME, was selected, showing that a smaller specialist provider could deliver the requirement. Businesses competing for a comparable requirement should be able to supply dependable interpreting services and organise delivery across the South West. Relevant experience serving institutional clients, including universities, would help demonstrate understanding of service users and operational requirements. The procurement used a direct award, so it provides evidence of the buyer’s route for this particular engagement, rather than a competitive tender or a multi-lot framework. The award offers a concrete example of the type of language-support service and provider profile that met Bath Spa University’s requirement.
