## Summary

The Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is planning a procurement process to award a Framework Agreement for Floor Maintenance Machines for educational establishments throughout Northern Ireland. Interested suppliers can participate in a pre-market engagement exercise by completing a questionnaire and submitting it by 3pm on Monday 22 May 2023. This market engagement is not part of a formal procurement process, and participation will not affect the supplier's eligibility in any future procurement process. The communication of future notices is scheduled for 9th June 2023.

This tender opportunity by EANI creates a chance for suppliers of Floor Maintenance Machines to engage with the market, provide input in the retendering process, and potentially secure a framework agreement. Businesses in the goods procurement category with experience in supplying maintenance equipment to educational institutions in Northern Ireland would be well-suited to compete in this opportunity. Suppliers should visit the EANI website for more details and to access the questionnaire.

## Notice

Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a Framework Agreement for Floor Maintenance Machines for educational establishments throughout Northern Ireland. 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 the retendering 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. The questionnaire must be completed and returned via the eTendersNI messaging function no later than 3pm on Monday 22 May 2023. 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.
