Description:

1. S4C is the only Welsh language television channel in the world and one of the UK's five public service television broadcasters. It is an independent broadcasting authority established under the Broadcasting Act 1981, and regulated by the Communications Act 2003 and the Broadcasting Act 1990. S4C provides a broad range of high quality and diverse programming. The channel airs over 115 hours of Welsh language programming each week. In addition to the above the S4C programme content is available to watch live on the S4C website via broadband and the on-demand service on the s4c.cymru website, via the BBC iPlayer and on YouView, Smart TVs, Sky, Freeview and many other platforms. S4C is uniquely funded through a mixture of grant in aid, commercial revenue and licence fee contribution from the BBC. In addition the BBC supplies 10 hours a week of programming funded from the licence fee. 2. S4C invites applicants to form part of a panel to supply Welsh/English translation services. S4C is tendering for framework agreements for translation services for letters, documents, reports, marketing materials, guidelines and policies, the Annual Report and Accounts and simultaneous translation. From time to time, S4C will also require the translation of legal documents. Translation from Welsh to English and also from English to Welsh will be required. Translation to other languages will not be required. We are looking for a limited number of suppliers (a maximum of 6) to form a framework of suppliers. Tenderers will be required to show extensive and successful experience in the field of Welsh/English translation. Suppliers may tender for the translation of documentation only and may note specialisms e.g. legal documents, or for live simultaneous translation only (if they have expertise in these fields). Suppliers who form part of this framework will be offered translation work by S4C as the need arises. The work will be on a project or projects basis as required. S4C intends to offer individual agreements to successful applicants in order to form the framework of suppliers. However, please note that being part of the framework does not guarantee that the successful tenderer will be offered any work. As the work under the contract is as required, the total work available to the suppliers is dependent upon S4C’s internal workload and human and financial resources from time to time.
