The new framework will be in place to meet the Welsh Government translation requirements and will also be available for Welsh Government subsidiary organisations. In order to be able to successfully secure a place on the framework arrangement, bidders must have appropriate membership of a professional translation or interpretation body. This PIN notice is intended to allow potential bidders time to obtain appropriate membership of a professional translation or interpretation body prior to the contract notice and tender opportunity being issued. The professional translation/interpretation body must be one where examination/assessment is required to become a full member. The professional accreditation must be relevant to the Lot. Examples of professional translation/interpretation bodies, although not exhaustive, are Cymdeithas Cyfieithwyr Cymru and the Institute of Translation and Interpreting. As this new framework arrangement for Welsh Government is intended to replace previous NPS Welsh Translation and Simultaneous Interpretation Framework Agreement that has been operational since 01 November 2018, ref: NPS-PS-0078-17 that is currently being utilised by the Welsh Government, this notice provides information on the Welsh Government requirements which differ to previous arrangements and to allow potential bidders time to prepare for the tender. Please refer to the Lot details for further information on the future framework agreement requirements whereby call off contracts from the Framework will be open to the Welsh Government and the wholly owned subsidiary companies and sponsored bodies of the Welsh Government. ## Lots (5) ### Lot 1: Translation from English into Welsh for call off contracts with a total contract value up to 50,000GBP – General Translation All Wales - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 79530000 - **Delivery regions:** UKL - **Description:** Lot 1 provides general translation of standard and specialised documentation regularly produced by WG, e.g. documents associated with legislation, consultation and policy documents, reports, information documents, communications and marketing materia... ### Lot 2: Translation from English into Welsh for call off contracts with a total contract value of 50,000GBP and above - General Translation All Wales - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 79530000 - **Delivery regions:** UKL - **Description:** Lot 2 provides general and subject specific translation of standard and specialised documentation regularly produced by WG, e.g. documents associated with legislation, consultation and policy documents, reports, information documents, communications ... ### Lot 3: Translation from Welsh into English – General Translation All Wales - **Lot id:** `3` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 79530000 - **Delivery regions:** UKL - **Description:** Lot 3 is for translations from Welsh to English as required.
