Summary of the contracting process

The Education Authority of Northern Ireland is conducting a market information session for the potential procurement of a Northern Ireland Substitute Teachers Register solution as part of the Education Technology Services (ETS) programme. This initiative aims to enhance the quality and sustainability of education technology services in schools. The session is scheduled for 20th October 2021, and interested organisations must register to participate, with the deadline for attendance requests by email set for the same date. This is an open tender process, with a budget of £4,000,000 allocated for the project that is expected to provide systems for managing substitute teacher registrations and availability.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in IT services, particularly those specialising in educational software development, database services, and system integration. Companies capable of delivering innovative software solutions that facilitate the registration, management, and communication of qualified teachers will find this session beneficial. With the Education Authority actively seeking market feedback, this is an excellent chance for businesses to engage early and shape the requirements for this essential service in the education sector, potentially leading to long-term partnerships and ongoing contracts.
