Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

Welsh Language translation service and Quality Assurance Framework Agreements.

CCDG is remitted to provide Careers Information, Advice and Guidance(CIAG)to groups and individuals of all ages through a range of media including the website, telephone, email, web chat, as well as, face to face interviews and group sessions. The combination of types of service clients receive is determined by the assessed need of the client(s) as they make initial contact. The primary means of accessing CIAG for most people is via the website, careerswales.com.

CCDG employs staff whose role it is to provide the day to day translation services and ensure that the channels of communication that we use with our partners and clients are appropriate within the bounds of the Welsh Language Act. As a newly formed company with a new remit from the Welsh Government there are occasions where it is expedient to outsource the translation work. To this end CCDG wish to appoint 20 service providers to its Welsh translation services framework agreements. It is intended that the framework agreements will run for 3 years.

Under Lot 2, CCDG also wishes to appoint one service provider to its Quality Assurance framework agreement for one year. The service provider will be appointed to undertake the quality assurance of the Interest Guide. The work will include proofreading and editing the translated documents to ensure that they are consistent in use of language and have parity with the English version.

Further information and the full specification of requirements can be obtained in the ITT document.
