*PRE-MARKET ENGAGEMENT EXERCISE* Provision of an Education Case Management System for the Education Authority
Notice Description
*PRE-MARKET ENGAGEMENT EXERCISE* The Education Authority (EA) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a contract for an Education Case Management System. The potential scale and scope of this is such that it offers a significant opportunity to bidders. The purpose of the pre-market consultation exercise is to gain an understanding of the latest developments and innovations in the provision of a 'best of breed' Education Case Management System as well as assisting EA to ensure that the most efficient and effective methods of providing an Education Case Management System are procured. Prior to initiating the procurement, the EA wishes to establish the level of market interest in participating in the procurement process. At this stage, any information gathered through this market consultation exercise may inform internal business planning and any possible subsequent procurement process and will NOT be appraised in any future tender evaluation exercise. Please note that participation or non-participation in this preliminary market consultation exercise shall not prevent any provider participating in any potential procurement process, nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any provider at an advantage or disadvantage in any forthcoming procurement process. For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase of the project and is not part of a formal procurement process.
