## Summary

The recent procurement process conducted by FCDO Services focused on the provision of translation services, classified under CPV 79530000, and located in Milton Keynes, England (postcode MK19 7BH). This contract fell under a services category and was procured through a limited competitive quotation method, indicating it was below the threshold. The tender process has now reached the award stage, with significant dates including a tender period that ended on 16 April 2025 and a contract period running from 17 April 2025 to 30 June 2025. The awarded contract notice was published on 30 May 2025.

This procurement opportunity supports business growth by engaging small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering specialised translation services. Such businesses, particularly those with expertise in linguistic services, can leverage this contract to enhance their reputation and secure further opportunities within the public sector. Given the targeted and limited nature of this competitive quotation, SMEs with a bespoke service offering in translation services are ideally positioned to compete in this space. The successful award to JEAN-PIERRE LICHTLE suggests an emphasis on quality and specialised skill sets unique to SMEs.
