***This is not a tender exercise by the Education Authority.*** Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a Framework Agreement for the supply, delivery and installation (where required) of portable staging, stage lighting and stage sound equipment to schools and educational establishments throughout Northern Ireland. EANI wishes to engage with the market at this stage to establish the level of market interest and to gather information that will be beneficial in the tendering process. Suppliers who wish to participate in the market engagement exercise should complete the pre-market engagement questionnaire. Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from CfT Documents. The questionnaire must be completed and returned no later than 3pm on Friday 26th April 2024. There are no formal tender documents to be completed other than the questionnaire. Any information gathered will NOT be considered in any future tender evaluation exercise. Participation or non-participation in this pre-procurement market engagement shall not prevent any supplier/provider participating in a potential procurement process nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any supplier/provider at an advantage in any forthcoming procurement process. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and there is no commitment, at this stage, to carrying out such a process.
