Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about translation services, interpreting services, document translation, sign language interpreting, translation and interpreting in the UK public sector.

  • How do I win a translation or interpreting contract in the UK public sector?

    Two ways in. Search public and private portals for live translation and interpreting tenders, or move earlier: read buyer digital and community-services strategies for the signal before a tender opens. Many contracts run as call-offs against national or regional frameworks rather than standalone lots, so a renewal can appear with little notice.

  • What does a translation tender actually cover?

    Document translation, face-to-face and telephone interpreting, and British Sign Language interpreting are the three recurring categories. Buyers include local authorities running multilingual resident services, NHS trusts booking clinical interpreting, and police forces commissioning language support for victims and witnesses. Academic translation studies and heritage-site interpretation are different categories and sit outside this page.

  • What CPV codes are associated with translation and interpreting?

    Translation and interpreting maps to CPV codes 79530000 (Translation services) and 79540000 (Interpretation services), the two codes that appear on almost every notice tracked here.

  • Is there a separate market for translation tenders in London?

    No separate London filter is needed here. London boroughs and London-based NHS trusts publish through the same national portals and frameworks as buyers everywhere else in the UK, so notices from London buyers are already included in the wider translation and interpreting count above.

  • Who buys translation and interpreting services in the UK public sector?

    Local authorities, NHS trusts, police forces and central government departments are the main buyers. Local authorities and NHS trusts most often run recurring dynamic purchasing systems, since demand for interpreting is ongoing rather than one-off. Central government tenders tend to run as larger multi-lot frameworks covering translation, transcription and sign language interpreting together.
