## Summary

The Education Authority has successfully completed the procurement process for the supply and delivery of outdoor furniture made from recycled plastic, culminating in the awarding of contracts on 26th June 2026. The procurement was executed through an open procedure and classified under the 'goods' category. This Northern Ireland-based framework facilitates public authority central government procurement under Northern Irish devolved regulations. Comprised of multiple lots, the awarded contracts extend over a four-year term starting from 10th July 2026, with goods to be delivered throughout the UK (region UKN). This procurement is aimed at equipping various educational institutions and centres under the Education Authority in Northern Ireland, covering a diverse range of outdoor furniture needs.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to expand their market reach, especially those specialising in environmentally conscious products. The framework allows multiple suppliers to participate, offering them the chance to provide outdoor benches, picnic tables, planters, sandpits, and litter bins. Suitable for businesses with a focus on sustainability and recycled materials, this framework supports direct call-offs and mini-competitions, thus encouraging competitive pricing and innovation. For SMEs involved in furniture manufacturing and recycling processes, this framework offers both immediate sales opportunities and a platform to showcase their products within educational settings, potentially leading to further market expansion within public sector procurement.
