The Scottish Procurement & Property Directorate (SPPD) is the organisation tasked with procuring frameworks and contracts on behalf of Scottish
public sector bodies. The current Interpreting, Translation & Transcription Framework is due to expire on 11 November 2021. Work has
commenced in developing the procurement strategy options including canvassing of stakeholders' views. In order to complete and finalise
the strategy, SPPD recognises the value of suppliers having the opportunity to contribute to this process on a non-competitive,
non-judgemental basis.
This request for information is aimed at collating those views from market participants. This information may be utilised in developing the
procurement strategy to help deliver contractual arrangements for Interpreting, Translation & Transcription Service requirements.
SPPD is using Questback to collate responses.
