Summary of the contracting process

The Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is currently in the planning stage for a public procurement process to award a contract for the provision of vehicle maintenance and repair services. This project, titled "TRN24-014 Vehicle Maintenance and Repairs for Belfast & East Tyrone," falls under the services category within the transport and vehicle repair industry. The procurement covers approximately 39 vehicles in Belfast and 41 vehicles, including 11 tractors, in East Tyrone, with a contract being awarded to a single supplier for each location. The procurement process aims to gather market interest and information through a pre-market engagement questionnaire, expected to be completed and returned by 7th February 2025. The contracting authority is located at 40 Academy Street, Belfast, and suppliers must be within a 15-mile radius of the respective Fleet Hubs.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle repair and maintenance services. By engaging in this pre-market exercise, companies can position themselves as prime candidates for the forthcoming formal tender process, which will require specialised services for a fleet of diverse vehicles. Businesses that can demonstrate efficient and quality service within the specified geographic locations stand to benefit substantially. Firms with a proven track record in vehicle maintenance and repair, particularly those within the 15-mile catchment area from both Belfast and East Tyrone Fleet Hubs, would find this tender particularly advantageous for business growth and long-term contracts with the public sector.
