The procurement is classified under tree-maintenance services, with an estimated framework value ranging from £1,125,000 to £6,400,000 over a four-year period. The contract notice is expected to be published in July 2022, and interested suppliers can access future tender documentation through the etendersni platform. Participation in this pre-market consultation does not preclude suppliers from submitting tenders for upcoming procurement opportunities. This upcoming tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in tree surgery, tree maintenance, and surveying services. Companies with experience in similar contracts, especially those capable of servicing multiple council areas in Northern Ireland, will be well-positioned to compete. The flexible nature of the contract allows for demand-led services, making it an attractive opportunity for contractors who can respond quickly to the Education Authority's requirements. Key players in horticultural and forestry services should consider engaging in this market consultation to influence the forthcoming tender process. ## Notice ***This is not a tender exercise by the Education Authority.*** The Education Authority wishes to engage with the market to seek their views on establishing a robust, value for money contract for tree surgery and tree surveying across various locations throughout Northern Ireland. Any information gathered through this market consultation exercise will inform internal business planning and any possible subsequent procurement process and will NOT be appraised in any future tender evaluation exercise. Please note that participation or non-participation in this preliminary market consultation exercise shall not prevent any supplier from participating in any potential procurement process, nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any supplier at an advantage or disadvantage in any forthcoming procurement process. For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase of the project and is not part of a formal procurement process. Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from Cft documents. The Questionnaire must be completed and returned via the Messaging function of etendersni ### Lot Information Lot 1 - Tree Surgery - EA premises within Belfast City Council Area - Locality East The Education Authority (EA) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a framework for tree surgery and tree surveying services.
