The National Procurement Service on behalf of the Welsh Public Sector wishes to establish a Framework Agreement for the supply of Welsh Translation and Simultaneous Interpretation Services. This Speculative Notice is designed to give the market ample notice of the procurement process with specific detail around the criteria for award. The information below is subject to change. The framework will be divided into a number of Lots. The Lots are likely to be, but not limited to:- Lot 1 - Translation from English into Welsh Lot 2 - Translation from Welsh into English Lot 3 - Simultaneous interpretation from English into Welsh Lot 4 - Simultaneous interpretation from Welsh into English Lot 4 will be sub-divided into regional zones. The exact boundaries of these zones are yet to be finalised.
