Summary of the contracting process

The Education Authority has completed a public procurement process titled "Supply and Delivery of Period Hygiene Products," using an open procedure method. The framework agreement is designed to serve various educational institutions across Northern Ireland, including primary and post-primary schools, further education colleges, and integrated education schools, among others. This procurement falls under the category of goods and focuses on sanitary products, scheduled for implementation from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2029. The framework includes multiple suppliers and covers the UK region, with a total framework value amounting to £3,468,000 for the supply and delivery of these products. The procurement process reached the award stage on 15th October 2025, primarily benefiting institutions within the Education Authority's purview.

This tender opens significant business growth opportunities, especially for suppliers specialising in hygiene products. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as larger companies, are well-suited to compete for such contracts due to the nature of supply frameworks that involve periodic and varied product deliveries. The open procurement process indicates inclusive competition and an opportunity for suppliers to enter or expand their presence in the public sector marketplace in Northern Ireland. Businesses in manufacturing or distributing sanitary products, especially those capable of managing large-scale distribution networks or offering competitive pricing, would find this opportunity beneficial. Additionally, the tender allows for direct call-offs and secondary competitions, presenting continual engagement opportunities for awarded suppliers throughout the contract duration.

Planning Information

Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a framework for the supply of period hygiene products to the Education Authority 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 retendering process.

Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from CfT Documents of CfT 5847100. The questionnaire must be completed and submitted no later than 3 pm on the closing date detailed.

The extended scope potentially includes staff and visitors across participating bodies, for whom no historical usage data exists. While an additional contingency has been factored into the Framework value, actual demand levels remain difficult to forecast with precision and may exceed anticipated thresholds. Other risks to satisfactory performance include: Product Unavailability or Recall: There is a risk of supply chain disruptions or product recalls, particularly affecting branded items. This is mitigated through the appointment of multiple suppliers across sections within Lot 1, alongside a mechanism allowing Suppliers from the unbranded sanitary towels section (Lot 2) to deliver in the event of supplier failure or no award. Manufacturer-Led Product Changes: Alterations to product specifications--such as pack sizes, formulations, or packaging--may affect perceived value or suitability. The Specification includes allowances for reasonable modifications where products continue to provide best value for money. Legislative or Regulatory Shifts: Future changes to environmental, public health, or product safety legislation may necessitate updates to product requirements. The Specification has been designed to accommodate such changes without requiring separate procurement action. Variable Uptake by Participating Bodies: Participation by bodies such as LibrariesNI remains unconfirmed. Should they onboard during the life of the Framework--subject to approval from the Education Authority--the resulting increase in demand could be substantial and is not currently reflected in contingency values. In such a scenario, a contract modification may be required to safeguard ongoing delivery. These risks have been identified as \"known unknown\" risks.",
