Provision of Language Services

The requirement relates to the provision of face-to-face and telephone interpreting and translation services to support operational policing activities, including the needs of officers and custody staff in the execution of their duties. As this is a demand-led service, the Authority is unable to accurately forecast the volume of interpreting and translation services that will be required during the contract period. Consequently, the contract value has been estimated based on historical expenditure over a 12-month period and proportionally extrapolated to reflect the proposed 15-month extension term. The stated value is therefore indicative and represents the Authority's best estimate of anticipated expenditure for the duration of the extension.
