## Summary

The University of Leeds is initiating a tender to establish a framework for Transcription and Translation (Localisation) services, valued at approximately £150,000 per annum. This procurement process is currently in the active phase, with the tender period closing on 13th September 2019. The framework aims to include around 10-15 suppliers for transcription services and approximately 5 for translation, reflecting the diverse academic research activities carried out at the University. Work will be delivered primarily in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom, with contracts anticipated to commence from 1st January 2020 and concluding on 31st December 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies with specialisms in transcription and translation services, who can cater to a variety of academic research needs, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this framework. With multiple suppliers being engaged, there is potential for sustained business growth and collaborative opportunities in servicing the University’s diverse requirements.

## Notice

The University of Leeds wishes to establish a framework for transcription and translation (localisation) services. Due to the wide scope of academic research conducted by UoL our requirements are varied and so we expect we will need multiple suppliers on the framework to fulfil all our needs, and this may include certain specialisms/expertise. We anticipate to have approximately 10-15 suppliers on this framework for transcription and approximately 5 for translation services, which reflects UoL's proportion of expenditure. The overall value of the contract is circa PS150,000 per annum but as this will be shared amongst multiple suppliers on the framework there is no guarantee of that level of work.
