## Summary

Cumbria County Council is currently seeking bids for the procurement of Interpretation and Translation Services, which falls under the health and social work services category. The tender, identified as CUM001-DN374813-08406845, was published on 8th November 2018 and is set to close on 10th December 2018. The successfully awarded contract will commence on 1st February 2019 and will span a period until 31st March 2022. This open procedure procurement is aimed at ensuring enhanced accessibility to public services for non-English speakers across all departments of the council, primarily located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The estimated value of the contract is £740,396.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in language services, particularly those that can provide high-quality interpretation and translation in various languages. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as they may find a competitive advantage in offering tailored services to meet the Council's requirements. Companies capable of working across diverse sectors, including public services and community outreach, will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, contributing to significant business growth in the process.

## Notice

Cumbria County Council is committed to making sure members of the public can access our services. As part of its public sector equality duty under the Equality Act 2010 the Council has to remove or minimise disadvantages suffered by people due to their protected characteristics, therefore in order to support customers whose first language is not English interpretation and translation services should be available. The Translation and Interpretation service may be required by all departments of the Council yet a number of Council services have historically placed a higher demand on the need for a Translation and Interpretation Service.
