Summary of the contracting process

The Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) has extended the planned and responsive maintenance and minor works contract for Belfast Building Lot 2 until 31 August 2025. This extension was necessary due to unforeseen circumstances, an increase in contract value of 10,000,000 GBP, and delays in the procurement process. The contract is being carried out without prior publication of a call for competition and aims to facilitate continued service delivery for Special Education Needs (SEN) placements and ongoing maintenance works. The contracting authority, EANI, intends to review certain prices to cater for higher inflation impacts and ensure continued access to schools.

This contract extension presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly SMEs, in the building construction industry to compete for providing maintenance and minor works in the Belfast region. The procurement method, a limited award procedure without prior publication, offers a chance for businesses with experience in planned and responsive maintenance services to engage with EANI. The contract's focus on maintaining access to schools and facilities highlights the importance of the services to be provided and the potential for business growth in catering to the educational infrastructure needs of the region.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The award of a contract by Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) without prior publication of a call for competition in the Official Journal of the European Union, in respect of the continued provision of a Term Service Contract for Building Maintenance and Minor Works (Belfast Region) Lot 2 as further described in OJEU Contract Notice and as outlined in the previous VEAT issued on 28 May 2021, 15 April 2022, 13 December 2022, 7 September 2023, 27 October 2023, 8 February 2024 and 12 April 2024.

Options: The previous VEAT 2024/S 000-004315 issued on 8 February 2024 extended this contract until 31 August 2025 with an option for the EANI to terminate, at its sole discretion, the contract by providing the contractor with written notice of its intention to terminate the contract. This option has not been exercised.

The overall nature of contract is not altered.

Procurement Information

We refer to the previously issued VEAT Notice (2024/S 000-010447) published on 28 March 2024. The indices values referenced therein are incorrect and the EANI therefore publish this VEAT in order to rectify these indices values. Please disregard the previous VEAT. To secure continuity, Task Orders issued on/after 1 July 2021 as per VEAT (2021/S 105-278046) are adjusted for inflation, calculated with the BCIS Measured Term Contract Updating Percentages. Inflation from mid-point of original contract to 31 March 2021 is: PSA SOR BCE15 5.5 pct applies to Sections 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 of Price List; PSA SOR DEC12 5.0 pct applies to Section 7 Item OT070. Inflation after 1 April 2021 is changed in BCIS MTC Updating Percentages from 31 March 2021 indices based on TO issue date/latest published index. For travel expenses for Response Task Orders issued outside of the Lot received on or after 1 June 2022, an additional amount for travel has been included. It is the EA's intention, upon receipt of compelling evidence, to consider the review of certain prices in the price lists for specific elements of which the impact of inflation is higher than what could have reasonably and diligently anticipated.
