The Council is seeking a supplier for comprehensive interpretation and translation services as a single provider, covering spoken and non-spoken face-to-face, telephone, video and related support. The Council will provide questions and responses to all tenderers to ensure a fair approach and will accept clarification requests via the In-tend correspondence facility until 30th December 2025. Completed quotations and attachments must be submitted electronically via the In-tend system and uploaded through the "My Return" section (quotations submitted via the correspondence facility will not be considered) by no later than 12th January 2026 at 12:05; quotations received after that time will be excluded.

This tender is likely valuable for language service providers capable of delivering multiple modalities (spoken and non-spoken face-to-face, telephone and video) and managing electronic submissions via In-tend. Key considerations include strict adherence to the In-tend submission route and deadlines, the requirement to act as a single provider for all listed services, and engaging with the Q&A window closing 30th December 2025.
