## Summary

The Education Authority has completed a public procurement process titled "Supply and Delivery of Period Hygiene Products," using an open procedure method. The framework agreement is designed to serve various educational institutions across Northern Ireland, including primary and post-primary schools, further education colleges, and integrated education schools, among others. This procurement falls under the category of goods and focuses on sanitary products, scheduled for implementation from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2029. The framework includes multiple suppliers and covers the UK region, with a total framework value amounting to £3,468,000 for the supply and delivery of these products. The procurement process reached the award stage on 15th October 2025, primarily benefiting institutions within the Education Authority's purview.

This tender opens significant business growth opportunities, especially for suppliers specialising in hygiene products. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as larger companies, are well-suited to compete for such contracts due to the nature of supply frameworks that involve periodic and varied product deliveries. The open procurement process indicates inclusive competition and an opportunity for suppliers to enter or expand their presence in the public sector marketplace in Northern Ireland. Businesses in manufacturing or distributing sanitary products, especially those capable of managing large-scale distribution networks or offering competitive pricing, would find this opportunity beneficial. Additionally, the tender allows for direct call-offs and secondary competitions, presenting continual engagement opportunities for awarded suppliers throughout the contract duration.

### Planning Information

Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a framework for the supply of period hygiene products to the Education Authority 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 of CfT 5847100. The questionnaire must be completed and submitted no later than 3 pm on the closing date detailed. 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 from 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.
