Description

We are looking for up to three suppliers on a framework to support Welsh translation within the British Council. This will range from the translation of major reports, with some technical detail, to press releases, website and social media content.

We require suppliers who are extremely responsive as smaller items of content such as social media posts can require a 24-hour turnaround.

As our work is public facing, we require a high standard of written Welsh. We are also looking for suppliers who proof translations before returning to us.
