Welsh Language Translation

The procurement contact named on the official notice.

Ofcom requires the establishment of a “call-off” Contract for the delivery of an accurate, reliable translation service from English to Welsh and less frequently, from Welsh to English.

As a minimum, the service must deliver the following: • Accurate, timely and clear translation of a wide range of materials from English to Welsh and vice versa • Simultaneous translation as and when required. • Undertake several projects at the same time during busy periods and the ability to work to extremely tight deadlines. • Proof reading of large, complex, and high-profile documents, such as the Annual Report • Ability to turn around within constrained timescales, e.g., one hour if the translation is urgent.

It would be preferable were the service also able to: • maintain and develop a dictionary of complex Ofcom terms which can be shared, in a suitable format with Ofcom Wales staff to ensure consistency across translations.
