Framework for the Provision of Sign Language Interpreters

City of Glasgow College is currently looking to implement a framework agreement for qualified Sign Language Interpreters to support and facilitate communication between individuals who are deaf, deaf-blind, or have a hearing loss, and hearing individuals. This will be achieved through the in-person presence of a qualified linguist, ensuring clear, effective, and accessible communication for all parties.

In an open tendering procedure prior to any award being made the successful bidder must provide the undernoted certificates, declarations and/or completed questionnaires to evidence their compliance with the relevant questions within the Qualification Questionnaire.

All certificates, declarations and questionnaires can be found within the Attachment area of PCS-T.

Appendix A – Form of Tender;

Appendix B – Freedom of Information;

Appendix C – SUSTAIN Supply Chain Code of Conduct;

Appendix E – PECOS Supplier Adoption Form;

Appendix G - GDPR Assurance Assessment (Processor)

Appendix N – Declaration of Conflict of Interest;

Appendix O – Declaration of Non-Involvement of Human Trafficking;

Appendix P – Declaration of Non-Involvement of Serious Organised Crime;

Appendix Q – Prompt Payment Certificate;

In the case of an open tender this information will not be required to be uploaded and submitted with the bid, but will instead be requested by the College following the conclusion of the evaluation of the Qualification, Technical and Commercial Questionnaires and prior to the award of the tender.

Failure to provide this information or in the event that the information provided does not support or evidence the statements made within the Qualification Questionnaire, will invalidate any bid. In this scenario the College will seek to obtain the relevant information and evidence from the second highest scoring bidder and so on, and upon verification will award the contract to this bidder instead.

The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise. The Project code is project_29155
