## Summary

The Education Authority has completed an open procurement procedure for a framework agreement titled "Collection and Disposal of ICT and Electrical Equipment," under regulatory requirements applicable to Northern Ireland. This involves three lots, focusing on services related to refuse and waste disposal within the region (UKN). The award process concluded on 12 February 2026, with the contract period running from 1 March 2026 to 28 February 2030. Interested suppliers had until 28 November 2025 to submit bids for roles involving various educational and public institutions in Northern Ireland. The procurement stage is labelled as complete, with contracts awarded to VYTA SECURE LTD and AVENUE RECYCLING LIMITED for related services.

This tender presents significant business expansion opportunities for SMEs specialising in waste management and recycling services. The framework allows direct call-offs at pre-agreed prices and includes provisions for supplemental tenders, accommodating both competitive and non-competitive scenarios. For suppliers, it offers an opportunity to establish long-term relationships with central government bodies and a wide array of educational institutions across Northern Ireland. This initiative is particularly suitable for businesses equipped to handle a broad range of recycling tasks, from data-bearing ICT equipment to general refuse disposal, with the flexibility to adapt to varying demand and environmental policy changes during the contract term.

### Planning Information

Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement
process to award a framework for the Collection and Disposal of ICT and Electrical Equipment for 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 6035830 The questionnaire must be completed and submitted no later
than 3 pm on the closing date detailed. There are no formal 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.
