Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Education Authority NI has initiated a tender, titled "Pre-Prepared Meals (Emergency Provision)", aimed at the supply and delivery of prepared meals for school kitchens across Northern Ireland. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically involving the provision of meals that can be re-heated on-site in emergencies when kitchen staff are unavailable. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, having been updated on 5th January 2021. The authority is now seeking suppliers who can fulfill orders across all education authority locations throughout Northern Ireland, as the initial framework has been revised to cover a broader scope.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in meal preparation and delivery, particularly those equipped to handle emergency orders in the education sector. Companies that can demonstrate the ability to provide nutritious and timely meals, along with appropriate logistical capabilities for distribution across Northern Ireland, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this procurement process can help businesses expand their customer base within the public sector and establish long-term relationships with educational institutions.
