Suppliers are invited to participate in a market engagement exercise by completing a questionnaire by 3pm on Wednesday 7th December 2022. This stage is not part of a formal procurement process, and participation does not guarantee an advantage in future tenders. The total value of the contract is £250,000 GBP, and the future notice date for communication is set for 15th January 2023. The procurement falls under the goods category, with the main procurement category being education. This public procurement opportunity by the Education Authority NI can create business growth opportunities for suppliers of printed books, brochures, leaflets, library books, and school books. Businesses specialising in supplying educational materials are well-suited to compete for this contract. The tender offers a chance to engage with EANI and potentially secure a contract for providing pre-serviced library books to schools in Northern Ireland. Understanding EANI's requirements and submitting a complete questionnaire by the deadline are crucial for businesses aiming to participate in the market engagement exercise. ## Notice Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a contract for Pre-serviced Library books for Education Authority Schools throughout Northern Ireland.
