    Brief

    Norfolk County Council, acting on behalf of the INTRAN Partnership, has established a Multi-Provider Framework to supply high-quality interpreting, translation, and language communication support services across the East of England and surrounding regions. The framework is designed to support the INTRAN partnership—a public multi-agency initiative that ensures Deaf people and speakers of languages other than English have equitable access to information and services. Norfolk County Council has appointed expert suppliers across five lots (Lots 1-5) who provide interpreters, translators, and language professionals to fulfill booking requests from member organizations. Two suppliers have been selected for each lot. This framework seeks to deliver innovative, cost-effective solutions that meet diverse communication needs and ensure inclusive access to public services.
