## Summary

North Tyneside Borough Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of Translation and Interpreting Services under the NEPO512 Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The procurement, classified under CPV code 79530000 for Translation Services, encompasses three service lots: face-to-face interpretation, telephone and video interpretation, and written translation and braille. The procurement process followed a limited method, which involved awarding contracts without prior publication of a competitive call. Contracts were awarded under a mini-competition format, with notable dates including the signing of contracts on the 25th of March 2026. All services are to be delivered within the UKC region, specifically targeting North Tyneside.

This tender opens notable avenues for businesses specialising in language services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like Absolute Interpreting & Translations Limited, which successfully secured contracts across all service lots, are particularly well-positioned to benefit. The emphasis on quality in the award criteria, combined with opportunities for continuous service provision across varied interpretation and translation modalities, allows for extensive engagement for businesses adept at providing comprehensive linguistic solutions. Such contracts not only present chances for immediate revenue but also afford the advantage of establishing long-term relationships with regional authorities, fostering sustainable business growth.
