## Summary

The Education Authority (EA) in Northern Ireland has awarded a framework contract for building maintenance services across three lots, covering various council areas. The title of the project is "FMM-22-010 The Education Authority Term Service Short Contract for the Provision of Building - Response, Planned Maintenance and Minor Works Lots 1, 2 and 3." The contract, which involves building works and asbestos services among other disciplines, is active, and was awarded on 30th August 2024. The total value of the framework spans from £35.6 million to £71.2 million (ex VAT) over an estimated four-year period. The awarded suppliers are MAURICE FLYNN SONS LTD for Lot 1, D MARTIN BUILDING for Lot 2, and Greystone Joinery Construction Ltd for Lot 3. This framework aims to cover essential reactive works, including planned maintenance and minor works in several administrative, educational, and transport premises located in Mid and East Antrim, Antrim and Newtownabbey, Lisburn and Castlereagh, Ards and North Down, Armagh, Banbridge, and Craigavon council areas.

This tender creates significant opportunities for various businesses, particularly those specialising in building construction, building installation, refurbishment, and roof works. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as indicated by the awarded suppliers, are well-positioned to compete in such frameworks by leveraging their expertise in specific construction domains. The framework’s emphasis on delivering measurable social value outcomes aligns well with the EA's commitment to social inclusion, equal opportunities, and sustainable development. Businesses that can efficiently manage reactive and planned maintenance tasks, offer high-quality work, and deliver on social value will find this framework beneficial for growth. The open procurement method and clear evaluation criteria focusing on price and quality further facilitate fair competition among capable businesses.
