Provision of Sign Language Interpretation Services

Descriptions

The Northern Ireland Assembly Commission is seeking to procure British Sign Language (BSL) and Irish Sign Language (ISL) translation and interpretation services in order to deliver its duties and provide an effective service to Members and the public. It is seeking to appoint a supplier of sign language interpretation services, in BSL/ISL, to support the Assembly’s legislative, scrutiny and representational roles. This will facilitate understanding by a more diverse range of citizens of the policy, legislative and scrutiny work of the Assembly and its Committees, creating opportunities for broader engagement in the democratic process and leading to more informed and comprehensive decision making by the Assembly. These services may be required to be delivered in-person, in a live-broadcast environment and at times requests may be made for remote delivery, or provision in a recorded for broadcast video format.
