## Summary

The Education Authority, a central government public authority in Belfast, is planning a tender for the appointment of an Integrated Supply Team for the new Priory Integrated College. This project, valued at approximately £370 million GBP, aims to construct a state-of-the-art post-primary education facility for 600 pupils in Holywood, Co Down. Currently in the planning stage, the process involves pre-market engagement with suppliers invited to submit queries by 7th November 2025. The procurement method is a selective, competitive procedure, and suppliers interested must express interest by 31st October 2025. The resulting contract is expected to start in December 2026 and conclude by September 2028.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the construction industry, particularly those specialising in educational facilities. The project invites competitive tenders, assessing criteria such as quality, social value, and price to award the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT). SMEs are encouraged to participate, creating an inclusive growth opportunity. Companies experienced in building construction work, and specifically those focusing on educational and research facilities, would find this procurement particularly suited to their expertise, providing a substantial avenue for portfolio expansion and market presence in the Northern Ireland region.

## Notice

The project is for the provision of the new Priory Integrated College to be located on a brown field site located in Holywood, Co Down. The outcome of this proposed project will be to deliver a state-of-the-art post primary education facility for the school's long-term enrolment of 600 pupils.
