Irish Sign Language Interpreting Services โ€” Multi Party Framework Agreement

National University of Ireland, Galway (NUI Galway)

NUI Galway are seeking to establish a multi party framework agreement for the provision of Irish Sign Language Interpreting Services. The provision of ISL interpretation to students registered with the University's Disability Support Service, will enable students access the teaching and learning environment at the University and will support, as much as is possible, the studentโ€™s full participation in college life. NUI Galwayโ€™s requirement will vary in each academic year, and there may be instances where there are no students or indeed several students registered with the disability support service in any given year who require ISL Interpreting Services.

Deadline
The time limit for receipt of tenders was 2021-07-19. The procurement was published on 2021-06-18.
