Summary of the contracting process

The Education Authority Northern Ireland is preparing to initiate a procurement process for Occupational Health Services, with the procurement currently in the planning stage. This is not a formal tender exercise, but organisations interested in participating are invited to complete a pre-market engagement questionnaire by 12 noon on 24 January 2022. The total estimated value of the contract is £720,000, and interested suppliers can access the questionnaire and further information through the Education Authority's procurement page. The anticipated publication date for the formal contract notice is tentatively set for 1 March 2022.

This pre-market engagement represents a valuable opportunity for health service providers, particularly those specialising in occupational health and related sectors, to influence the upcoming tendering process. Businesses that engage at this stage can gather insights that may be advantageous for their proposals in subsequent procurement activities, thereby positioning themselves competitively for future contracts with the Education Authority. Participation in this non-binding questionnaire will not disadvantage suppliers in the formal tender processes that follow.
