## Summary

Bath Spa University procured interpreter support, classified as interpretation services, for delivery in South West England. The requirement is for language interpretation services supporting the university; the procurement description provides no further breakdown of the service or its intended users. This is a services contract, rather than a purchase of goods or works. The buying organisation is Bath Spa University, based in Bath. The regional delivery area is South West England, so suppliers should be able to provide interpretation support across that area. The requirement is presented as a single procurement, with no separate service components described. Its focus is interpreter support for the university, not a broader language-services or translation programme.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to SigningWorks Ltd by direct award. The award date was 26 November 2023, and the contract period ran from 27 November 2023 to 31 July 2024. The awarded contract value was £51,453.48. The procurement had a submission deadline of 26 November 2023. The evaluation criteria are not described, so the basis on which the supplier was selected cannot be characterised further. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and not for voluntary, community or social enterprises. No lots are identified, and the award is recorded as active. The stated contract dates place the work in a completed period; this is an outcome, not an invitation to submit a bid.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that Bath Spa University buys interpreter support for delivery in South West England, and that it used a direct award route for this requirement. A credible competitor would need the capacity to provide interpretation services to the university and to deliver across the stated area. SigningWorks Ltd, identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, was selected, showing that an SME supplier secured this work. The procurement is specifically about interpreter support, so relevant experience should centre on supplying interpretation rather than unrelated translation or general language services. Businesses with a service model suited to a university customer and the ability to meet comparable interpreter-support needs are the closest match when assessing this buyer’s requirement.
