It encompasses several service categories, including face-to-face interpretation, written translation, video interpreting, telephone interpreting, and sign language. This procurement falls within the services category and was completed through a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, leveraging existing frameworks led by ESPO and NEPO. The contracts were signed by the awarded suppliers on various dates, with the most recent being 10 April 2025.

The procurement has engaged multiple small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), including Supreme Linguistic Services Limited, Translate UK Limited, and others, highlighting the potential for SMEs to secure valuable government contracts in specialised service offerings.
