Translation Services

The IRB requires translation services of an administrative and legal nature to supplement the IRB’s Linguistic Services Directorate. The estimated number of words for translation is 8,000,000 over a three (3) year period, divided in accordance with the Call-up procedure mechanism set out in the Standing Offer among all suppliers qualified in the four (4) services streams:

Stream A – English to French Administrative Translation – approximately 1,000,000 words
Stream B – English to French Legal Translation – approximately 6,000,000 words
Stream C – French to English Administrative Translation – approximately 400,000 words
Stream D – French to English Legal Translation – approximately 1,000,000 words

The translation services are required on an “as and if required” basis. The volumes of Work mentioned do not necessarily reflect the actual volumes of Work that the IRB will contract under the Request for Standing Offers (RFSO) and the volume of Work that each qualified supplier will receive during the Standing Offer period and extension period(s), as the case may be. The volumes of Work may vary significantly depending on the demand.

This requirement contains a security requirement.
