## Summary

The Scottish Government has completed the award process for a contract titled "DHSCFDG - Eljamel Public Inquiry - Transcription Service," which falls under the industry category of Translation Services. The procurement process followed an open procedure method and was conducted by the Public Contracts Scotland Tender system. The contract, with an allocated value of £750,000, was awarded to Epiq Europe Ltd on 30 September 2025. The services involve providing real-time legal transcription during public hearings for the Eljamel Inquiry, with a focus on both quality (80%) and cost (20%) as award criteria. The hearings will be held in the UK, primarily in Glasgow, but broadcast more widely via online channels.

This contract presents growth opportunities for businesses specializing in legal transcription and those equipped to supply real-time services. It is especially suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to the nature and scale of the contract. Tenderers had to demonstrate financial stability with a current ratio of one or more, possess relevant insurance, and meet specific technological and environmental management standards. Companies with robust supply chain management systems and a commitment to prompt subcontractor payments were also preferred. This opportunity illustrates the potential for companies to engage in high-profile public service contracts, thereby expanding their experience and market presence.
