## Summary

The procurement process for the "Language Services 2024" contract was conducted by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), a national agency in the UK. This tender falls under the services category, specifically focusing on translation and interpretation services as per the CPV classification 79530000. The location for delivering these services is within the UK. This process was in the award stage as of 4th June 2025, following the signing of the contract on 7th May 2025. The procurement was executed using a limited method without prior publication, structured as a call-off from an existing framework. The contract value amounts to £953,968, involving a three-year term with an optional one-year extension.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in language translation and interpretation services, such as face-to-face and telephone interpreting, written translation, and Braille services. SMEs, in particular, can find growth potential by delivering these diversified language solutions, as demonstrated by the successful supplier, D A Languages Limited, an SME based in Manchester. This process bypassed a traditional open call for competition, suggesting a streamlined approach that could benefit businesses with existing framework agreements in place. Additionally, involvement in such contracts could lead to establishing a solid reputation and building a portfolio within public sector frameworks.
