About

BLC is seeking suppliers for a national Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) providing interpreting and translation services to police; the DPS was originally created by Leicestershire Police in 2020 and has been novated to BLC. The DPS comprises six lots: face-to-face interpreting, translation/transcription, telephone interpreting, British Sign Language, video/remote services, and managed services covering all the above, and it expires in September 2027.

Insight

This could be ideal for language service providers and agencies able to deliver face-to-face, telephone, video/remote, British Sign Language and managed service solutions to police. Key considerations: the DPS spans six distinct lots requiring multi-modal capability, it was novated from Leicestershire Police to BLC, and the DPS term ends in September 2027.
