Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is planning a procurement process to award a Framework Agreement for Floor Maintenance Machines for educational establishments throughout Northern Ireland. Interested suppliers can participate in a pre-market engagement exercise by completing a questionnaire and submitting it by 3pm on Monday 22 May 2023. This market engagement is not part of a formal procurement process, and participation will not affect the supplier's eligibility in any future procurement process. The communication of future notices is scheduled for 9th June 2023.

This tender opportunity by EANI creates a chance for suppliers of Floor Maintenance Machines to engage with the market, provide input in the retendering process, and potentially secure a framework agreement. Businesses in the goods procurement category with experience in supplying maintenance equipment to educational institutions in Northern Ireland would be well-suited to compete in this opportunity. Suppliers should visit the EANI website for more details and to access the questionnaire.
