Dear FOI Team, I am writing to request the following information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000:

When the organisation last ran a procurement or tender process for language services, including (but not limited to) translation, interpretation, or transcription services.

The evaluation weighting used in that tender, specifically the percentage weighting allocated to quality and the percentage weighting allocated to price (e.g., 70% quality / 30% price).

The quality and price scores awarded to each bidder in that tender, including:

The name of each bidder

The quality score for each bidder.

The price score for each bidder.

The total score for each bidder

Response

Thank you for your request for information, received under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

You asked for details relating to procurement or tender processes for language services, including translation, interpretation, and transcription services, along with associated evaluation criteria and bidder scores.

Following a search of our records, we can confirm that we do not hold any information within the scope of your request.

Specifically, the organisation has not undertaken any procurement or tender process for language services of the type described, and therefore no contracts, evaluation weightings, or bidder scoring information are held.

As we do not hold the requested information, Section 1(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 applies.

Yours sincerely,

FOI Team

Guildford Borough Council
