Tender file Translation
Our team of sworn translators prepares your tender file translation for notarisation where the receiving institution requires it. We provide information about apostilles and consular legalisation; we do not submit or manage these applications.

A tender file consists of specifications, a bid letter, technical documentation and qualification documents. Overseas tenders require the entire file to be translated into the target language.
In tender procedures, the submission deadline cannot be changed, and missing documents are grounds for disqualification. The file therefore needs to be planned as a whole rather than in separate pieces and scheduled for a single delivery timetable.
Which institutions request this document?
- Foreign tendering authorities and public institutions
- Consortium partners
- Banks — for letters of guarantee
- Insurance companies
Certification requirements
Tender specifications usually require notarized translations.
Apostilles may be required for qualification documents; each document receives an apostille from a provincial/district governor's office or justice commission according to its type.
There is no universal rule. The institution requesting the document determines its certification requirements. The information above describes common practice. Tell us which institution you are applying to and we will help clarify the required certification.
Preparing your document
- Share the complete document list; sending it in parts extends the turnaround time
- Specify the tender submission deadline at the outset
- Provide any terminology list you have for the technical documents
- If confidentiality is required, a written confidentiality agreement can be prepared
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a single quote for the entire file?
Yes. If you share the document list, we provide one price and one delivery date for the entire file.
What happens if the delivery deadline cannot be met?
We do not accept work that we cannot complete on time. If the schedule is unrealistic, we tell you at the start.
