thebigword (tbw) announced it has retained the MoJ language services contract for the next four years

PI4J underlines the importance of the Home Office engaging with academic research on the use of AI in public services contexts, and strongly advises that alongside input from potential suppliers in the RFI, the Home Office also connects with the research and researchers from Bristol, UCL, York and Surrey Universities.

NRPSI welcomes the MoJ’s acceptance of key Lost in Translation? recommendations, including a new Qualifications Framework and improved Quality Assurance. However, lasting reform requires addressing poor pay, conditions, and off-contract bookings. Without action, the justice system risks losing qualified interpreters. NRPSI urges formal recognition as the independent regulator and remains committed to sustainable, high-quality language services.
