Summary of the contracting process

The Education Authority is in the planning stage of a procurement process for the appointment of an Integrated Supply Team to work on the Iveagh Primary School project, involving the demolition of old buildings and the construction of a new 10-classroom facility in Northern Ireland. Slated under the industry category for construction work related to education, this procurement falls within the region UKN07 of the United Kingdom. The pre-market engagement phase closes on 22nd June 2026, providing suppliers the opportunity to submit queries. This stage is a preliminary step before the formal tender process, which is overseen by central government authorities under Northern Irish devolved regulations.

This procurement opportunity presents significant business growth potential for companies specialising in building construction, particularly those experienced in educational facilities. Firms capable of undertaking projects of this scale, valued at £5.5 million, would find this project aligns with their expertise. The requirement for a qualified Integrated Supply Team offers a chance for construction firms to establish a footprint in Northern Ireland's educational infrastructure sector, with the contract commencing in July 2027 and running until January 2030. Engaging early in the pre-market phase could provide a competitive edge for businesses poised to deliver innovative construction solutions.
