The Corporate Officer of the House of Lords and Corporate Officer of the House of Commons (the Authority), acting jointly, requires up to a maximum of 4 suppliers for the provision of transcription services, to support and supplement the Authority's internal transcription teams, providing additional capacity and resilience during periods of peak demand. This will include in-person attendance for the purpose of taking a log of proceedings, for Select Committees of both Houses, Joint Committees, Private Bill Committees and other Committee sittings. These transcriptions are ordered to be published by both Houses for various committees across the House of Commons and the House of Lords. This procurement is for the establishment of an internal framework agreement for transcription services. The framework will be awarded to up to 4 suppliers and is not divided into lots. The framework will support transcription operations across Parliament and is intended to ensure high quality transcription, value for money, and service resilience.
