In plain English

Leicestershire Police is setting up a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to provide language services, interpreters, translators, and multilingual support, for all UK police forces, the Home Office, and immigration/border enforcement teams. This is a 7-year framework contract running from September 2020 to August 2027.

What the buyer wants

• Provide qualified interpreters and translators across multiple languages for police, immigration, and border enforcement work • Deliver services on-call and at short notice to support interviews, statements, and official proceedings • Maintain confidentiality and security clearance standards required for sensitive law enforcement and national security operations

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Most small one-person interpreter businesses will struggle because this contract requires the ability to cover multiple languages, maintain high security/DBS clearance standards, deliver at short notice across multiple police forces nationally, and meet the administrative burden of a Dynamic Purchasing System framework, which demands continuous monitoring and rapid response capability.

How to bid

This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
