ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS OPPORTUNITY: We are seeking expressions of interest from suitable companies wishing to be included on a select list of suppliers who can provide a range of translation, interpretation and sensory disability services. East Staffordshire is a diverse borough, and we need to ensure that our services are accessible to all members of the community. It is therefore essential that a translation, interpretation and sensory disability facility is available that provides a quality, responsive and flexible service for our staff and communities, whilst still representing value for money.
The key communities that we require translation and interpretation for are primarily Eastern European, Asian and Chinese communities. However, we would welcome applications from providers of these services in any language or from providers of any sensory disability service. Examples of the type of services we require include:
-
Written and audio translation
-
Face to face and telephone interpretation
-
British Sign Language interpretation and Sign Supported English
-
Lipspeaking
-
Deaf blind interpretation
-
Braille and Moon
-
Pictorial English
Once the approved supplier list has been established, only companies included on the list will be invited to carry out translation and interpretation services for East Staffordshire Borough Council as and when work of this type arises.

Other Categories of Work
For all work in the construction industry (including design and build work, plumbing, electrical), where the estimated contract value is less than £50,000 East Staffordshire Borough Council will only select suppliers using Constructionline.
Constructionline is the UK's largest register of prequalified contractors and consultants and is recommended by the OGC Common Minimum Standards and The Local Government Task Force. With 8,000 buyers already using the Constructionline database to source contractors and consultants, Constructionline is also a great tool to market your organisation.
For further information on Constructionline and details of how to register, please visitwww.constructionline.co.uk
For all other categories of work not covered by Constructionline or the Council's internal Approved Suppliers Lists, quotations will be sought from suitable suppliers.
Please note that if the estimated value is expected to be above £50,000, then Constructionline or the internal Approved Suppliers Lists CAN NOT be used to select suppliers, and competitive tendering MUST be invited.
