## Summary

The Education Authority of Northern Ireland is initiating a procurement process for the appointment of an Integrated Consultant Team to oversee the construction of a new build for Longstone School in Dundonald. The procurement stage is currently at the planning phase. Stakeholders and potential suppliers have until 19th June 2026 to engage in the Pre-Market Engagement process, with a market engagement notice issued on 5th June 2026. The tender, identified by ID MA26-0000M402, falls under the category of architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services with a total estimated value of £3,000,000. The project will be carried out in phases from January 2027 to January 2037 and will involve traditional design processes complemented by options for modern construction methods.

This initiative presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in architectural design, engineering, quantity surveying, and construction project management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the procurement process is described as suitable for these types of firms. Given the large scale of the project, and the potential for various professional services required, businesses with a robust portfolio of similar projects and experience in educational infrastructure would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The contract will demand comprehensive project management, site work, and the exploration of future extension capabilities, offering ample opportunity for innovative solutions and expertise.
