This procurement falls under the services category and the relevant industry classification is translation and interpretation services. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 30th September 2021. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st July 2022 and will run until 30th June 2026, primarily serving locations across the United Kingdom and beyond, including the British Overseas Territories and Europe. The procurement method used is a selective approach via a restricted procedure above the threshold. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in language services, particularly those offering professional interpreting and translation capabilities. Given that the framework seeks providers rather than individual translators or interpreters, businesses with the capacity to manage multiple language support services will be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement process can help businesses expand their service offerings and enhance their reputation within the public sector, leveraging the growing need for communication accessibility for individuals who are Deaf or have limited English proficiency. ## Notice Norfolk County Council on behalf of INTRAN wishes to establish a multi provider framework agreement for the provision of professional public interpreting, translation and related language services. INTRAN is a public and third sector multi-agency partnership that ensures people who are Deaf, and those with limited or no English proficiency, have equitable access to information and services through the provision of professional interpreting, translation, transcription and related language support services. The current framework agreement ends on 30.6.2022. It should be noted that the proposed framework is for providers of interpreting and translation and not for translators and interpreters themselves.
