## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council is planning to procure British Sign Language (BSL) Services aimed at assisting service users in accessing local authority services in Edinburgh and the Lothians area. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with key dates including a deadline for service providers to register their interest by 17:00 on 8 January 2018. Although no tender opportunity is guaranteed, interested parties are encouraged to engage in consultations leading up to the potential tender, which may commence after August 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in BSL services and related industries to expand their service offerings. Companies equipped with the expertise to provide accessible communication services, including those with prior experience in public sector contracts, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this opportunity. Engaging with this local authority initiative could enhance a business’s profile within the community and establish valuable connections with the public sector.
