Summary of the contracting process

The Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is preparing to initiate a procurement process for the provision of staff health check services across Northern Ireland. This exercise is in the planning stage, specifically a pre-market engagement to gauge market interest and gather useful information for the upcoming tender process. The industry category is health services, and the main procurement category is services. Interested suppliers are requested to complete a pre-market engagement questionnaire by 3 PM on Monday, 3rd February 2025, via the eTendersNI messaging function. The results of this engagement will not influence future tender evaluations. Although it is not a formal tender at this stage, the activity falls under an open procedure procurement method.

This pre-market engagement offers a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in health services to demonstrate capability and interest in delivering staff health check services. Companies that excel in health and medical practice services would find this opportunity particularly relevant. Engaging in this preliminary stage could provide a valuable understanding of the contractual requirements and competitive landscape, potentially positioning businesses advantageously when formal tenders are released. While this is not a binding procurement process, participation may help businesses in preparing for future opportunities and in building a strategic relationship with EANI.
