## Summary

The Nottingham City Council is seeking to award a contract for a "Sign Language and Interpretation Service", aimed at providing essential interpreter and communication support for citizens with hearing impairments in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. This procurement is classified under 'Other community, social and personal services' and has a total estimated value of £1,117,500. The procurement process, conducted through an open procedure, is currently at the award stage, with the contract scheduled to begin on 1st December 2018 and end on 30th November 2021. The tender period ended on 14th September 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in sign language and interpretation services, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can deliver high-quality support tailored to the needs of deaf citizens. Companies capable of providing reliable communication assistance to patients and service users within community health and local council services would be especially well-suited to compete for this contract, as it seeks to enhance accessibility and communication for those with hearing impairments.
