The procurement falls under the goods category, specifically relating to pneumatic or motorised hand tools, with a budget of £1,250,000.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in technology and design products for educational settings, particularly those skilled in supplying small scale hand tools and related equipment. Suppliers of electronic components, pneumatic and power tools, as well as miscellaneous hand tools would be well-suited for participation. Engaging in this preliminary market consultation allows businesses to gauge potential interest and align their offerings for future formal tender opportunities with EANI. ## Notice ** This is not a tender exercise by the Education Authority**.
