This procurement is in the planning stage, with intentions to initiate the tender by tentatively publishing a contract notice on 13th March 2022. Interested suppliers must complete a pre-market engagement questionnaire by 3pm on 11th February 2022, and additional details are available through the Education Authority's procurement portal located in Belfast, UK. This opportunity is well-suited for businesses involved in the manufacture or supply of furniture, particularly those specialising in office and educational furniture solutions. Engaging in this pre-market exercise could provide actionable insights for suppliers aiming to enhance their offerings and align with the Education Authority's needs. Companies that participate may benefit from an understanding of market demands, which could ultimately facilitate their success in subsequent tender submissions. ## Notice The Education Authority (EA) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a framework agreement for Office, Reception, Staffroom, Assembly Halls and General Storage Furniture. 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. The questionnaire must be completed and returned via the Messaging function no later than 3pm on Friday 11 February 2022. There are no formal tender 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 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. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Education Authority (EA) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a framework agreement for Office, Reception, Staffroom, Assembly Halls and General Storage Furniture.
