## Summary

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has concluded a procurement process titled "Welsh Language Services," aimed at establishing a framework agreement with a single supplier for translation, interpreting, and transcription services. The project falls under the services industry category, specifically translation and interpretation services, and targets the United Kingdom, particularly in the UKL region. This procurement utilised an open, below-threshold competition method and has now entered the award stage. The contract was awarded to Cymen Cyfryngedig on 7th July 2025, with services commencing on 14th July 2025 and extending initially until 13th July 2026, with an option for a further 12-month extension. The gross contract value is estimated at £35,000.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in language services, notably those skilled in Welsh language capabilities. SMEs and other entities with proficiency in translation and interpretation can gain from competitive procurement processes like this one. As the contract allows for a one-year renewal, successful suppliers can foster long-term partnerships with public sector organisations. Additionally, the structure of the framework agreement, with pre-determined rates, provides financial predictability and stability, making it an attractive endeavour for firms looking to expand their market presence within public sector services.
