Summary of the contracting process

The Education Authority Northern Ireland (EA) is currently undertaking a public procurement process titled "FMM-21-016 Collection, Delivery, Transfer and Disposal Services for the Education Authority." This procurement falls under the services industry category and has an estimated value of £650,000. The contract is intended to provide services for an initial period of 24 months, with options to extend for two further periods of 12 months each. The tender phase is active, with the deadline for submissions set for 19 January 2022, and the evaluation of bids will consider individual lots in which tenderers may participate, with a maximum of two lots being awarded per supplier. The services will be delivered across multiple sites throughout Northern Ireland, with a focus on various educational establishments, including primary and post-primary schools, as well as nursery schools and controlled youth centres.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in the logistics and transport sectors, particularly those specialising in the hire of transport vehicles and related delivery services. The framework allows firms to bid for multiple lots, which enhances competition while enabling a range of service providers to establish relationships with the EA. Companies that can demonstrate their ability to deliver measurable social value, as highlighted in the Social Considerations Schedule, will be particularly well-positioned to compete successfully. This contract gives successful bidders the chance to build long-term partnerships within the educational infrastructure and contribute to the EA's objectives of social inclusion and sustainability.
