This procurement is currently in the planning stage, with interested suppliers requested to complete a pre-market engagement questionnaire by 12 noon on 20 May 2022. The procurement value is estimated at £100,000, and the project is located in Ballymena, UK. While there are no formal tender documents required at this stage, the information gathered will inform future tender processes, although it will not influence any tender evaluations. This pre-procurement market engagement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in document management services, software, and related retrieval technologies. Suppliers that can offer innovative solutions for the digitisation of records will find such initiatives particularly beneficial. Engaging with the Education Authority at this stage allows businesses to showcase their capabilities and align their offerings with the Authority's future procurement needs, positioning themselves strongly for upcoming tender opportunities. ## Notice ** This is not a tender exercise by the Education Authority**. Interested participants should complete the questionnaire provided in the CfT documents and return as per the instructions in the document. The Education Authority (EA) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a contract for the Digitisation of Records. 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 any potential tender 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. 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 establish a contract for the Digitisation of Records.
