Public sector requirements
What differs from corporate work.
Procurement compliance
Documentation built for the process: itemised pricing against a defined scope, stated deliverables, and records that survive audit rather than explanation after the fact.
Accessibility
AODA obligations planned as a production requirement — captioning, assistive listening, accessible materials and venue access confirmed in advance, not retrofitted on request.
Bilingual delivery
Simultaneous interpretation, bilingual signage and materials, and a run-of-show that accounts for the additional timing interpretation requires.
Public and media access
Managed question flow, media positions, and a clear separation between public sessions and closed portions of the programme.
Record and transparency
Redundant audio and recording, so that what was said and committed to is captured cleanly and defensibly.
Security and protocol
Dignitary protocol, order of precedence, secure areas and coordination with protective details where the programme requires it.
Public sector production specifics
The detail that survives review.
- Interpretation booths sited for sightlines to the stage and screen, with a tested feed and a documented channel plan.
- Captioning delivered on a dedicated display or feed, tested before doors rather than assumed.
- Accessible seating, routes and washroom proximity confirmed against the actual room layout, not against the venue's floor plan.
- Run-of-show timing extended where consecutive interpretation is used, because the schedule genuinely takes longer.
- Recording and retention handled to your records-management requirements from the outset.
- Itemised costing that maps to procurement line items rather than to a single lump sum.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions.
Do you work with government procurement processes?
Yes. We provide itemised pricing against defined deliverables, documentation built for audit, and scope written so it can be evaluated against stated criteria rather than interpreted.
How do you handle AODA accessibility requirements?
Accessibility is specified in the production plan: captioning, assistive listening, accessible materials and confirmed venue access. It is designed in from the start because retrofitting it on the day rarely works.
Can you deliver bilingual events?
Yes. Simultaneous or consecutive interpretation, bilingual materials and signage, and a run-of-show adjusted for the timing interpretation actually requires.
Do you handle dignitary protocol?
Yes, including order of precedence, arrival and departure sequencing, and coordination with protective details where a programme requires it.
