Tendering T&I Services: 30% reductions in pay with a 30% failure rate

03/07/2013 08:27

Public tendering of interpreting services with a clear drive to cut back on language service costs.

This document aims to investigate some cases of conflicting interests between freelance translators and middlemen, and demonstrate that such conflicts may become irreconcilable. As a prime example, the Framework Agreement between the UK Ministry of Justice and Applied Language Solutions (now Capita Translation and Interpreting) is discussed in detail. Further thought is devoted to terms and conditions and technology. Finally, a number of suggested discussion points are listed.
