The Translation & Interpreting Services solution provides NEPO Member Authorities and North East Associate Members with a route to communicate effectively with stakeholders. The solution is structured as follows:
- Lot 1 – Telephone Interpreters
- Lot 2 – Face to Face Interpreters
- Lot 3 – BSL and Non-Spoken Interpreters
- Lot 4 – Written Translation
The solution delivers the following benefits:
- Compliant with EU procurement legislation
- Suppliers have demonstrated their track record, experience and technical & professional ability.
- Pre-agreed terms & conditions underpin all orders
- Latest technologies in the market included such as video interpretation services
- A benchmarking exercise has demonstrated that considerable savings are achievable
The solution was led by North Tyneside Council as part of the Hub & Spoke model operated by NEPO. Read more about Hub & Spoke on our About Us page.
