## Summary

East Sussex County Council (ESCC), acting as lead authority for the translation and interpreting services under the SUSTI Framework, has completed the procurement process for community interpreting services. This initiative, in collaboration with Surrey County Council, aims to enhance service accessibility for public sector bodies in East and West Sussex. The award process utilised a selective procurement method and was published on 23 January 2017, following a contract period that commenced on 3 December 2016 and ends on 2 December 2019, with the procurement stage now marked as complete.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in translation and interpretation services, particularly those with the capacity to operate within the local government framework. Businesses capable of delivering accessible communication solutions, especially those experienced in working with diverse communities and public sector clients, would be well-suited to engage in this market. Competitors could include large firms such as AA Global Language Services Ltd and Language Connect, among others recognised for their expertise in community interpreting and translation services.

## Notice
