## Summary

Norfolk County Council is initiating a procurement process for a Multi Provider Framework Agreement for Interpretation, Lipspeaking, and Translation Services, which falls under the translation services category. The procurement stage is currently in the Award phase, with the contract period commencing from 1st July 2017 and concluding on 30th June 2020.
