## Summary

The Equality and Human Rights Commission engaged in a public procurement process for the provision of Language Services, aiming to establish a framework agreement with a single supplier for interpreting and translation services. The process, utilising an open procurement method, culminated on 5 February 2026 with a contract valued at £25,000, awarded to PRESTIGE NETWORK LIMITED. The framework, which is part of central public authority operations, includes translation and interpretation services across various UK regions. The contract period started on 7 January 2026 and is set to end on 6 January 2027, with options for two additional one-year extensions.

This contract presents significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in language services, particularly those that can offer high-quality translation and interpreting capabilities. Firms with experience in delivering robust language solutions to central government bodies will find this an advantageous opportunity to expand their portfolio within the public sector. The award criteria, prioritising quality over price with an 80:20 weighting, suggests the potential for businesses to leverage their expertise and quality of service as a competitive advantage in future tenders of this nature.
