Language Services Framework
The Languages Framework has been established on behalf of four NHS procurement organisations comprising of NHS London Procurement Partnership, NHS Commercial Solutions, East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub, and NHS North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative. The lead hub and the Contracting Authority responsible for establishing and managing this framework agreement is NHS North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative.
The Language Services framework has been designed to provide a complete solution for Contracting Authorities seeking language services to support delivery to service users who speak, communicate, or read languages other than English.
The framework offers Contracting Authorities a compliant route to market from a range of service providers with local, regional, and national coverage with the options of making a direct award or running a further competition.
It is available for use by all members across the four NHS collaborative procurement partners and other contracting authorities across the NHS and wider UK public sector.
