## Summary

The Education Authority NI is seeking market engagement for a Term Service Short Contract related to building construction work. This exercise aims to gather feedback from interested organisations regarding future provision needs. Suppliers are invited to participate in this scoping phase to inform internal planning for potential future procurement. The questionnaire and further details are available via the Messaging function of eTendersni. The submission deadline for responses is scheduled for January 12, 2023, and the estimated contract period is 720 days.

This opportunity is well-suited for businesses involved in electrical installation, building installation, mechanical engineering installation works, and refurbishment work. Companies with experience in the construction industry and the capacity to deliver term services are encouraged to participate. The procurement process is currently at the engagement stage, providing a chance for suppliers to shape future procurement decisions. Interested parties must ensure compliance with the submission terms and bid validity period set by the Education Authority NI.

## Notice

***This is not a tender exercise by the Education Authority.*** The Education Authority wishes to engage with the market to seek views from interested organisations on the future provision of TSSC to the Education Authority. This questionnaire will be used to assist in gaining a better understanding of the requirements, the capacity of the market to deliver the requirements and an opportunity for the market to highlight any possible risks or issues that may not have previously been considered. 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
