Tender: Translation, Interpretation and British Sign Language Services Framework – Borough Council of Bolton

About

The Borough Council of Bolton is seeking suppliers for a Translation and Interpretation Services Framework under the Procurement Act 2023 using the Open Framework Procedure; the framework will run for up to eight years and is intended to commence on 15 December 2026. The Authority requires providers to deliver face-to-face, video and telephone interpretation, written translation and British Sign Language (BSL) services across two lots: Lot 1 – Interpretation including BSL, and Lot 2 – Written Translation. The open framework will initially appoint up to three providers per lot, will be reviewed towards the end of the first three years with the possibility of awarding a successive framework on substantially the same terms, and the Authority may reopen the framework within the first three years; suppliers must reapply for any successive framework and are not guaranteed a place for the full duration.
