## Summary

The West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has awarded a contract titled "WHHT - Interpretation & Translation Services & BSL" in the industry category of Interpretation services with a CPV code of 79540000. This contract, with an award status of active as of 30th March 2026, involves providing interpretation and translation services, including British Sign Language (BSL), in the East of England, UK. Conducted under a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement, the contract is valued at £486,755. The contract period spans from 30th March 2026 to 29th March 2027. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with significant milestones including the tender period ending on 1st March 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in linguistic services, particularly those with expertise in healthcare-related interpretation and translation. Although the procurement method favoured a framework call-off, it highlights the potential for future frameworks and contracts with the NHS Trust in this region. While it was completed as a non-open procedure, the involvement of SMEs like DCVS Trading Ltd (trading as Herts Interpreting and Translation) illustrates the potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to secure government contracts. Businesses well-suited for such tenders include those with robust capabilities in handling medical interpretation requirements and a presence in the local region or similar public sector frameworks.
