## Summary

The Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) has awarded a contract without prior competition for the provision of planned and responsive maintenance and minor works in the Armagh M&E Lot 2. The contract has been awarded to CHC Group Ltd. The procurement process was completed, and the contract is currently active. The contract includes the continuation of Lot 2 term service contracts for mechanical and electrical maintenance in the old Southern Education and Library Board area. The procurement method was a limited award procedure. The Education Authority aims to ensure continuity and adaptation to unforeseen circumstances through this contract extension.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for companies specializing in building construction works, particularly in mechanical and electrical maintenance services. Companies experienced in planned and responsive maintenance, as well as minor works, are well-suited to compete. The contract allows for the provision of services across educational properties within EANI's portfolio. Due to unforeseen circumstances and the need to increase the contract value and duration, businesses with flexibility and capacity to deliver services efficiently are likely to succeed in this procurement process.
