## Summary

The Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) has extended its contract with Irwin ME Ltd for the provision of Planned and Responsive Maintenance and Minor Works for its facilities in the Western Education and Library Board area, specifically Omagh M&E Lot 1. This extension is due to unforeseen additional budget releases, further demands especially for Special Education Needs (SEN) placements, and the impact of inflation that were not anticipated at the time of the original contract notice or previous VEAT notices. The contract value has been increased by £4,000,000.00 GBP, not exceeding 50% of the original contract value, and the extension is planned to last until 31 August 2025. The contract allows for termination with three months' notice if necessary, and the modification continues to provide essential maintenance and works services, ensuring uninterrupted access to schools and facilities in the specified region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in building construction and maintenance services, particularly those with experience in working within educational settings. Given the scale and complexity of the works, businesses specialising in mechanical and electrical maintenance, and those capable of handling rapid response works due to unforeseen demands and inflationary pressures, would be well-suited for this contract. The extension reinforces the need for consistency and reliability, highlighting the potential for ongoing collaboration, and positions adept suppliers to strengthen their relationship with a major public sector authority. This contract can offer long-term growth for SMEs capable of meeting the high standards and technical requirements set by the EANI.
