Interpreting and translation services

Summary

The City of Seinäjoki is procuring interpreting and translation services under a framework agreement. The services include mainly remote interpreting, including urgent requests, on-site interpreting, and translation between Finnish and other languages. Remote interpreting must be available by telephone and secure video connection; on-site interpreters provide the service at a location specified by the contracting authority. Typical translation assignments include certificates, official decisions and medical statements, and materials must be transferred using secure email. The contract begins upon signature and runs until 31 December 2028, with an option for the city to extend it by one year, until 31 December 2029. The estimated value is approximately €90,000 per year, but the city does not guarantee any specific order volume. The provider must have access to authorised translators for Finnish–English, Finnish–Arabic and Finnish–Russian, and must list in its offer any other language pairs for which authorised translators are available.
