The process involves a pre-market engagement stage where suppliers are invited to complete a questionnaire by Tuesday, 25 July 2023. The total value of the contract is £12,000,000. The procurement method is through a framework split into three lots, each evaluated and awarded individually. This tender by Education Authority NI presents an opportunity for suppliers of toilet paper, hand towels, hygiene products, and related dispensers to engage in a potential procurement process. Businesses in the personal care products and hygiene services sector would be well-suited to compete. The future tender documentation will be available on the etendersni platform. The planned procurement stage allows suppliers to express interest and gather useful information for the retendering process, contributing to business growth in the hygiene products industry. ## Notice Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is currently considering a procurement process to award a contract for Supply and Delivery of Paper Hygiene and Feminine Hygiene Products throughout Northern Ireland.
