## Summary

The DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Language Services" under the industry category of Translation services (CPV 79530000). The procurement followed a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement and covers a range of services including spoken and non-spoken interpreting, telephone interpreting, written translation, and transcription. The contract, valued at £756,709 GBP, extends over multiple regions, including British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The contract duration spans from August 2, 2023, to June 28, 2025, with the tender period having ended on July 28, 2023.
