What the notice says

The Home Office Migration & Borders System (which includes Asylum & Human Rights Operations, Border Force, Immigration Enforcement, Visas, Status & Immigration (VSI) and Passports, Citizenship & Civil Registration (PCCR)) is conducting market research to gather information regarding automated translation and transcription technologies to further understand both current and potential future market capabilities. This Request for Information (RFI) is issued solely for information purposes and does not constitute a Request for proposal, Request for Quotation, or invitation to bid. The Home Office have identified three distinct but interrelated types of requirements. These include interpreting, translation and transcription.
