## Summary

The British Council, a public authority under the sub-central government in the United Kingdom, initiated a procurement process titled "EU_346 - Specialized Translation and Proof-reading Spain." This process aimed to acquire translation services mainly from Spanish to English and vice versa, with a particular emphasis on professional and legislative texts. Initially set in February 2025, the procurement followed an open procedure method, with the tendering phase concluding on 25 March 2025. Unfortunately, the process was subsequently cancelled on 30 June 2025 due to the inadequacy of the original specifications, which prompted the British Council to plan for a retender with more precise documentation to ensure fair competition among suppliers.

This tender, once reopened, will present substantial business growth opportunities, especially for enterprises specialising in high-quality linguistic services. Companies with expertise in legal and contractual document translation, capable of ensuring precision in legislative contexts, will be well-positioned to compete. The contract value estimated at £60,000, with a potential gross value of £72,000, reflects a significant business opportunity, particularly with the contract's initial period running until 2031 and possible extensions for an additional three years. Such a tender could be especially advantageous for businesses that value long-term contracts and have the capacity to deliver consistent, high-quality translation services.

## Notice

Translation from SPANISH to ENGLISH or vice versa of professional texts which may include contractual documents, legislation or other content. In all cases, the translation must be highly professional, use Spanish (from Spain) and read easily although, if it is not possible to make an easy reading it is always preferred to stick to exact translation over style, particularly when documents include legislation.
