This tender covers the translation needs of information hub. The aim is to commission a translation agency which can provide professional translations of key resources for these areas on the Mayor of London website, to ensure they are fully accessible to those who experience English language barriers.
The GLA is now commissioning a legal partner to develop resources relevant to migrant Londoners and their families which will be hosted on a new Migrant Londoners Hub. The hub content will be covering immigration and citizenship matters as well as information on rights and entitlements including to NHS services. New resources will also be created to support new arrivals from Hong Kong, through the Hong Kong British Nationals (Overseas) visa. Priority languages for translation will be identified in partnership with officers at the GLA, as this will vary depending on the resource and the target audience.
This tender covers the translation needs of information hub (The Employment Rights Hub; The Migrant Londoners Hub).
The purpose of the Employment Rights Hub and Migrant Londoners Hub is to communicate information about social welfare legal rights in a high-level, easy to understand way. This means that it's crucial the language used in translation mirrors the simplicity of the original English version as closely as possible. Translated versions should avoid long sentences, convoluted phrasing and uncommon language.
The successful organisation will report to an officer in the GLA's Communities and Social Policy unit and work closely with the legal partner/s commissioned to produce and develop the content on the Migrant Londoners Hub and the Employment Rights Hub.
