2 FRAMEWORK OVERVIEW HealthTrust Europe s Interpretation and Translation Services framework agreement offers a simple, compliant route to market for the procurement of quality Interpretation and Translation services at competitive rates. The framework is entirely free to access and offers public sector users the option of allowing both direct call-off and further competition. HealthTrust Europe (HTE) has established a real value-driven offering reflecting the needs of the customer, increasing flexibility in call off arrangements and broadening the scope to include emerging technologies. The agreement offers great worth and our staff will provide advice and support during the transfer process. HTE is committed to providing a high quality, safe and effective framework agreement underpinned by best practice principles. The framework agreement also encompasses the draft standards developed by NHS England ( NHS England Principles for High Quality Interpreting and Translation Services ). HTE procured this framework agreement in compliance with the restricted procedure set out in the Public Contract Regulations 2006 and the EU Combined Directive (2004/18/EC). The Framework Agreement was publicly advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union 2015/S on 25 February 2015 under the restricted procedure.

6 KEY BENEFITS Free to Access: Compliant Route to Market: Quick and Easy Sign Up Process: Greater Flexibility: Quality Auditable Framework: Assigned Support: Customers do not pay any fees to access this framework, it is free of charge. The framework will save procurement time and costs. It is fully compliant with the Public Contracts regulations and with EU Procurement Directives so you do not have to carry out a full EU compliant tender yourself which is very costly and time consuming. As the framework is for the provision of a service it is not subject to, or impacted by, NHSI Agency rate cap initiatives. The process is straightforward and simply requires that an order form/access agreement be exchanged to ensure your compliance. This is a quick and easy process via electronic means. Once you have been registered to access the framework agreement, a call off can be made either by direct award for standard services or further competition (competed services). To allow trusts to agree unique requirements at a local level. The framework has inbuilt strict auditable guidelines with respect to operation of the framework, including recruitment, induction and training procedures, experiences and qualifications, safeguarding and information governance to ensure quality. The framework is underpinned by NHS England s draft principles and standards which govern Interpretation and Translation Services in the Health Sector and has involved input from external bodies such as NRCPD, NUBSLI and RSLI working together to raise standards in the industry. HealthTrust Europe will provide support for call-off processes and the ongoing management of agreements. Page 5 of 7
