Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "IA3617 Communicator Guide Service". This procurement focuses on providing communicator guides for Deaf, visually impaired, and Deafblind individuals, falling within the "services" industry category. The council is seeking pre-market engagement to gather feedback from potential service providers by 1st December 2025.

The council's headquarters, located at 1 Staffordshire Place, Tipping Street, Stafford, will oversee this initiative within the region UKG24 in Staffordshire, United Kingdom. The procurement, facilitated under the Procurement Act 2023, involves a scheduled timeline that anticipates further communication on 2nd February 2026. This tender presents a compelling opportunity for businesses specialising in interpretation services and health and social work services.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) could significantly benefit from participating, with an extensive contract period slated to start on 1st September 2026 and potential for extension up to 31st August 2030. The process allows businesses to contribute feedback that may shape the re-commissioning of the current communicator guide framework, fostering potential partnerships with a sub-central government authority and stimulating growth through enhanced service offerings.
