This tender, classified under 'Building construction work', is positioned in the works category and aims to gather insight from main contractors regarding the delivery of five post-primary school buildings and associated facilities. The key dates include the tender period ending on 18 August 2021 and various information meetings scheduled to facilitate dialogue between the contracting authority and prospective bidders. The procurement method is an open procedure, ensuring a wide range of participants can engage in this early market consultation. This tender represents a significant opportunity for construction firms, particularly those specialising in educational facilities and large-scale building projects. Businesses that are well-suited to compete are those with expertise in delivering substantial construction projects, including infrastructure, landscaping, and environmental protection works. By taking part in the information meetings and responding to the Market Engagement Questionnaire, potential bidders can position themselves favourably for future formal tender processes related to the Strule Shared Educational Campus development. ## Notice This is a Market Engagement Exercise and will be used for information purposes only in advance of a formal tender process. This is not a call for competition. In response to this, Economic Operators (Main Building Contractors) are requested: 1. to attend an information meeting with the Contracting Authority; and 2. to return a market consultation questionnaire. The Project Brief and Market Engagement Questionnaires and information on how to request an information meeting are available in the CfT Dcouments Area of this CfT. Economic Operators are asked to note: 1. anything stated at an information meeting and the response to the questionnaire will be used only for the information of the Department of Education in order to understand the market; 2. the response to the questionnaire and anything arising from an information meeting will be treated as being strictly confidential; 3. neither the response to the questionnaire nor anything said at an information meeting will form part of any pre-qualification or tender stage assessments or will be marked in any manner; 4. Economic Operators will not be penalised or disadvantaged if they later change their position on the response to the question posed in the questionnaire or as stated in an information meeting; 5. information meetings will be conducted to only allow the passing of information as to the parties' respective positions. No negotiation or broader discussions can be permitted.
