Abstract:

Government procurement of language services (GPLS) is an effective path to promote the transformation of government language management functions and optimize the supply of government language services. Over the past decade or so, some administrative institutions in China have carried out exploratory practices of purchasing language services from service organizations, and GPLS has been successively included in the guidance catalogues for government procurement of services by the central government and some local governments. Drawing on relevant research results in the fields of government procurement of services and language services, this paper firstly clarifies the concept and connotations of GPLS. Then, based on public data provided by channels such as the China Government Procurement Network/China Government Procurement of Services Information Platform and Tianyancha commercial data platform, combined with results of telephone interviews and field surveys, this paper summarizes the characteristics of GPLS in terms of subjects, procedures and contents. Furthermore, this paper summarizes the achievements of GPLS over the past decade or more in the areas of subject participation, market cultivation and resource integration, analyzes the existing problems in scope division, undertaking capacity and institutional construction of GPLS, and puts forward relevant suggestions.

摘要：

政府购买语言服务是促进政府语言管理职能转变和优化政府语言服务供给的有效路径。十余年来，我国部分行政事业单位开展了面向服务机构购买语言服务的探索性实践，政府购买语言服务先后被中央及部分地方人民政府纳入政府购买服务的指导性目录。本文借鉴政府购买服务和语言服务领域的相关研究成果，在厘清政府购买语言服务的概念、明晰其内涵的基础上，依据中国政府采购网/中国政府购买服务信息平台以及“天眼查”商业数据平台等渠道提供的公开数据，结合电话访谈和实地调查结果，归纳政府购买语言服务在主体、程序和内容等方面的特征，总结了十余年来政府购买语言服务在主体参与、市场培育和资源整合等方面取得的成效，分析了政府购买语言服务在边界划分、承接能力和制度建设等方面存在的问题，并提出了相关建议。
