## Summary

The Financial Ombudsman Service recently completed a tender process for language services, which include translation, transcription, and related services. This procurement was classified under the CPV category for Translation services and was managed through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement took place in London, with the contract period running from 31 July 2020 to 30 July 2023. The tender was valued at £450,000 and was awarded on 23 July 2020, with the relevant documentation published on 21 December 2021.

This awarded contract presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in language and translation services, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies capable of delivering high-quality managed services in translation and transcription are encouraged to explore similar contracts, as public sector organisations increasingly seek providers that can offer flexible and comprehensive language solutions. Given the nature of the services required, businesses with expertise and resources in multilingual communication would be particularly well-positioned to compete for future tenders in this domain.
