Interpretation, translation and transcription services contract awarded

Date Published: 28 July 2022

Global Language Services has been awarded the contract for interpretation, translation and transcription services for Aberdeenshire Council following a procurement exercise.


This will continue our effective partnership with a provider who has served us over the past five years and we look forward to working with them in the new contract.

There are some slight changes to the operating procedures centred around ordering and the purchase orders process. To aid this, a ‘price list’ menu system is being established. 

In addition, British Sign Language (BSL) is now included in the contract, making Global Language Services a one-stop shop for your interpretation, translation and transcription needs

For more information on the arrangements, interactive information sessions will be held on the following dates:
  • Monday, August 1 (from 11am-12pm)
  • Monday, September 5 (from 11am-12pm)
  • Monday, October 3 (from 11am-12pm)
Please attend one of these sessions if you have used, currently use, plan to use or are simply interested in the service. You will be able to ask any questions you may have about the service, and to add your comments too.  

You can join the sessions via Teams (please consider saving the link in your calendar). 

Further information about the new contract and the price list will be published on Arcadia for the start of the new contract which begins on Monday, August 1
