## Summary

The London Borough of Brent bought interpreting and language services, including British Sign Language services and translation, for delivery in Brent, London. The requirement covers spoken-language interpretation, sign-language communication and translation services. It is relevant to providers able to supply a range of language support to a local authority and serve people accessing its services. The contract is for services rather than goods or works, with interpretation and translation forming the core requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. D A Languages Limited was selected and signed the contract on 1 June 2026. The contract runs from 1 June to 30 November 2026, with an option to extend to 31 May 2027. Its value is £148,800 excluding VAT (£178,560 including VAT). The procurement was below threshold and used one lot. The published process information does not set out a separate evaluation basis or detailed participation criteria.

This award shows Brent’s demand for a combined interpreting, translation and British Sign Language service, delivered to a London borough. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide dependable access to spoken-language interpreters, qualified sign-language provision and translation capacity, with the operational ability to coordinate services across the council’s needs. The selected supplier was D A Languages Limited, a large provider, indicating that scale and the ability to deliver a broad service offer are relevant signals for competing. Suppliers specialising in only one element may need to demonstrate how they can cover the full requirement, either directly or through delivery partners.
