Summary of the contracting process

The Education Authority has concluded a procurement process for contracts concerning Display Energy Certificates and Advisory Reports in various educational and governmental institutions across Northern Ireland. This initiative, titled "Display Energy Certificates and Advisory Reports", falls under the category of energy and related services, which includes technical inspection and testing services. Conducted as an open procedure, the procurement covered lots identified as Southwest, North, and East, with each contract awarded to Elan Environmental Limited. The contracts are valued at a combined gross amount of £1,209,600, and they are scheduled to commence on 8 April 2026, running until 7 April 2031, with potential extensions available. The final award was completed on 6 March 2026.

This procurement offers a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in energy services and technical inspection, particularly those classified as small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Businesses specialising in energy management and consultancy, especially within the sectors addressing technical building inspections and energy efficiency, would benefit from engaging in similar future tenders. The contractual engagement extends across various types of educational institutions, potentially fostering long-term partnerships and providing scope for business diversification and expansion within the public sector, specifically aligning with Northern Irish devolved regulations. The framework indicates growth opportunities through additional purchases and contract renewals, further enhancing business prospects.

Planning Information

Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a contract for Display Energy Certificates and Advisory Reports for 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. 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 of CfT 6093680. The questionnaire must be completed and submitted no later than 3 pm on the closing date detailed. There are no formal 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 from 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
