This open procedure tender aims to enlist up to three suppliers to support Welsh translation, covering various materials such as reports, press releases, and social media content. The tender period concluded on 8th June 2021, while the contract is set to commence on 16th June 2021, extending until 16th June 2025. Suppliers must register on the British Council's e-Tendering portal to participate in the procurement process. This opportunity is particularly relevant for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in translation services, particularly those fluent in Welsh. The requirement for rapid turnaround times and high-quality translations indicates that responsive translation companies and language service providers with a strong track record in public-facing content will find this tender advantageous. Businesses that can demonstrate their capability and quality control processes will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice We are looking for up to three suppliers on a framework to support Welsh translation within the British Council. This will range from the translation of major reports, with some technical detail, to press releases, website and social media content. We require suppliers who are extremely responsive as smaller items of content such as social media posts can require a 24-hour turnaround. As our work is public facing, we require a high standard of written Welsh. We are also looking for suppliers who proof translations before returning to us. Additional information: Bidders will be required to register on British Council's e-Tendering portal In-Tend hosted at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/britishcouncil in order to take part in the tender process. Once registered, bidders must log-in to the website where they can view the project and access the bidders pack and submit their return. Bidders will also be required to demonstrate their capability and 'means of proof' will be required. These conditions are outlined in the RFP. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/404cd144-078a-4539-a4f7-bb203492f624 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Jul 2021 | | Submission deadline | 8 Jun 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 7 Jul 2021 | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2021 - 1 Aug 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £28,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £28,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRITISH COUNCIL(THE) | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M1 6BB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Piccadilly | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 3 | | Supplier names | LANGUAGE EMPIRE; NICO; OWAIN ROGERS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79530000 - Translation services ## Release History - 23 Jul 2021 at 11:49 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/404cd144-078a-4539-a4f7-bb203492f624 - 28 May 2021 at 06:47 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e747240-0c0a-40ec-934b-533af1da5d80 - 27 Apr 2021 at 13:03 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e747240-0c0a-40ec-934b-533af1da5d80 - 26 Apr 2021 at 13:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e747240-0c0a-40ec-934b-533af1da5d80 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/404cd144-078a-4539-a4f7-bb203492f624 23rd July 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e747240-0c0a-40ec-934b-533af1da5d80 28th May 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/britishcouncil ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
