  About Sleps  
 
Standard of Language Excellence in the Public Sector (SLEPS) has been created in order to officially endorse and establish the recommended standards of Language Provision to the Public Sector organisations.

The intention behind this high-profile commission is to allow the clients to make an informed choice when selecting their language partner. This is achieved by creation of an independent body responsible not only for ensuring the transparency of the standards, but also by setting out clear criteria on the basis of which language companies should be assessed.

Admittedly, it is an area that requires further development, and SLEPS could not come at a better time. In the light of today’s fast and significant in scale demographic changes and their impact on Public Sector delivery, the requirement for language services is at all time high.

It is imperative that the Public Sector procurement practices rely on a set of clear and coherent guidelines that direct the buyer towards those providers who guarantee reliability, good value for money and stability of the service.

The benefits will naturally extend to commercial enterprises, as well as individuals with a requirement for any of the wide-ranging language services that modern language companies provide.
