Description

Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a contract for Supply and Delivery of Grounds Maintenance Products throughout Northern Ireland. EANI wishes to engage with the market at this stage to establish the level of market interest and to gather information that will be beneficial in the retendering process. Suppliers who wish to participate in the market engagement exercise should complete the pre-market engagement questionnaire. Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from CfT Documents. The questionnaire must be completed and returned via the Messaging function no later than 3pm on Monday, 20 March 2023. There are no formal tender documents to be completed other than the questionnaire. Any information gathered will NOT be considered in any future tender evaluation exercise. Participation or non-participation in this pre-procurement market engagement shall not prevent any supplier/provider participating in a potential procurement process nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any supplier/provider at an advantage in any forthcoming procurement process. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and there is no commitment, at this stage to carrying out such a process. Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a framework for the Supply and Delivery of Grounds Maintenance Products throughout Northern Ireland. The purpose of this PIN is to engage with the market at this stage to establish the level of market interest and to gather information that will be beneficial in the retendering process. It is envisaged that the products on the Framework will be split into 16 lots. This Lot will be evaluated and awarded individually. Additional information: The date relating to the publication of the contract notice is tentative and may be subject to change.
