## Summary

The Education Authority Northern Ireland is planning to initiate a procurement process for Text Books, Pupil Workbooks, Assessment Resources, and Music Materials. This opportunity is open for educational establishments throughout Northern Ireland. The market engagement exercise is designed to gauge market interest and gather information before the retendering process. Interested suppliers must complete the pre-market engagement questionnaire by 24th June 2024.

This procurement process presents a chance for suppliers in the education resources sector to participate in providing goods for educational institutions in Northern Ireland. The Education Authority is seeking suppliers who can offer high-quality educational materials. This planned tender is focused on goods procurement and aims to create a framework agreement for the mentioned materials. Suppliers with relevant expertise in educational publishing and resources are encouraged to participate in this market engagement exercise.

## Notice

***This is not a tender exercise by the Education Authority.*** Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a Framework for Text Books, Pupil Workbooks, Assessment Resources and Music Materials 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 submitted no later than 3pm on Monday 24 June 2024. 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.
