This project, titled "TRN24-014 Vehicle Maintenance and Repairs for Belfast & East Tyrone," falls under the services category within the transport and vehicle repair industry. The procurement covers approximately 39 vehicles in Belfast and 41 vehicles, including 11 tractors, in East Tyrone, with a contract being awarded to a single supplier for each location. The procurement process aims to gather market interest and information through a pre-market engagement questionnaire, expected to be completed and returned by 7th February 2025. The contracting authority is located at 40 Academy Street, Belfast, and suppliers must be within a 15-mile radius of the respective Fleet Hubs. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle repair and maintenance services. By engaging in this pre-market exercise, companies can position themselves as prime candidates for the forthcoming formal tender process, which will require specialised services for a fleet of diverse vehicles. Businesses that can demonstrate efficient and quality service within the specified geographic locations stand to benefit substantially. Firms with a proven track record in vehicle maintenance and repair, particularly those within the 15-mile catchment area from both Belfast and East Tyrone Fleet Hubs, would find this tender particularly advantageous for business growth and long-term contracts with the public sector. ## Notice This is not a tender exercise by the Education Authority**. Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a contract for the provision of vehicle maintenance and repair services for approximately 39 vehicles in the Belfast region and 41 vehicles, 11 tractors in the East Tyrone location. This will be a lotted Contract and One (1) supplier will be awarded per lot based within a 15-mile catchment area from the Fleet Hub for both localities. EANI wishes to engage the market at this stage to establish the level of market interest and to gather information that will be beneficial in the tendering 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 returned via the eTendersNI messaging function. 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. ### Lot Information Belfast The Education Authority (EA) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a contract for provision of Vehicle Maintenance and Repair for Belfast & East Tyrone.
