In brief

London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine has announced plans to buy translation work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £940,000 including VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 2 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 30 November 2026.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 7 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £940,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine has a requirement for the provision of Language services which includes Transcription, Translation, Interpretation and other related services. This notice is intended to alert potential suppliers of the opportunity to take part in the pre-market engagement for LSHTM's Language services requirement and direct them to a questionnaire where they will be expected to indicate interest. Interest should only be made by service providers who believe they have the relevant experience and are capable of providing some or all of these services.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
