## Summary

Lancashire County Council is seeking to provide interpretation and translation services for the Lancashire Refugee Integration Team and named providers. This public procurement process is categorized under translation services (CPV: 79530000), specifically tailored to assist refugees, asylum seekers, Ukrainian guests, and evacuees arriving in Lancashire. The procurement stage is at the tender stage, with submission deadlines concluding on 24th June 2024 at 14:00. The procurement is conducted through an open procedure, with the award period commencing on 24th June 2024 at 16:00. The expected contract duration is 36 months with an option to extend for an additional 3 years. Key services involve face-to-face, telephone, and video interpreting, as well as document translation and various intensive support services upon the arrival of clients.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity for language service providers, particularly those specialising in translation services and interpretation. Organisations with capabilities in managing varying demands for language support—both in-person and remotely—would be well-suited to compete. The contract, valued at £720,000, is open to SMEs and other businesses proficient in providing language services tailored to the needs of resettlement schemes. Companies that can offer flexible, comprehensive language support will find the scope and duration of this contract advantageous, especially with potential extensions dependent on service efficacy and demand distribution across Lancashire.

## Notice

1.1 Lancashire County Council (the "Authority) is commissioning language support to refugees, asylum seekers, Ukrainian guests and evacuees (the "Clients") arriving, and who have previously arrived, in Lancashire under various government-funded Resettlement Schemes and requires the Services to provide support for the provision of face to face, telephone and video interpreting and document translation services for various requirements of the Resettlement Schemes. The Interpretation and Translation Services (the "Service") must provide language support to Clients who have previously arrived in Lancashire under various resettlement schemes.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Authority, working with its partners in other councils and contracted providers, will provide a range of resettlement services across all of the areas of the Specification (although, very occasionally, face to face interpreting services may be required outside of Lancashire as well, namely at entry ports such as Manchester Airport or Liverpool Airport). The Service Provider shall ensure that the Services shall be available to the Clients for 10 hours per day, Monday to Friday during the hours of 08:00 to 18:00 excluding bank holidays. The Service Provider shall provide the Services in the form of home visits, group sessions, meetings, appointments, telephone and text contact, and document translation. It is anticipated that the need for these Services will be more acute in the first two weeks following Clients' arrival in Lancashire, when Clients are provided with an intensive orientation support package. Although the Services will be required for the full 36 months of the Initial Term (plus any agreed extensions pursuant to the provisions of this Specification and Service Contract), the out of hours requirements may vary during the Term and the Service Provider will be expected to accommodate these requirements within the terms of this contract. Should this contract be extended beyond the Initial Term, the requirements stated may change depending on the need and level of geographical dispersion across Lancashire, with more and/or other local authority areas becoming involved.

Options: Option to extend for 3 years up to a total maximum contract period of 6 years in total

Renewal: Option to extend for 3 years up to a total maximum contract period of 6 years in total
