Market Research: Auto Translation and Transcription Services

The Home Office is conducting market research to understand current capabilities in translation, transcription, and interpretation technologies and services. This information-gathering exercise is not a tender or commitment to procure, but rather seeks to assess supplier solutions against operational needs within the Migration and Borders system. Key areas of interest include: speech-to-speech interpretation, speech-to-text transcription, text-to-text translation, recording and auditability, accessibility features, mobile and low-connectivity functionality, security and data residency, cloud platform integration, and quality assurance workflows. Suppliers will be evaluated on their ability to support formal interviews, field operations, and customer communications. This update reflects evolving market capabilities since previous engagement activities. Any future procurement would follow a separate approval process and established procurement procedures.
