## Summary

The Education Authority is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Appointment of Integrated Supply Team for Ballyclare Primary School SEP," located in Northern Ireland, UK. This involves the demolition of existing school buildings and the construction of a new nine-classroom extension, with an estimated project value of £5,000,000. A pre-market engagement session is scheduled, offering potential suppliers the opportunity to submit queries by 22 June 2026. Following this, the formal tender process is expected to commence post the future notice date of 29 June 2026, with the contract period planned from 2 August 2027 to 2 April 2030.

This tender opens significant opportunities in the construction sector, providing potential growth for companies specialising in building educational facilities. Firms with expertise in building construction, specifically in school infrastructure, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The opportunity, governed by Northern Irish devolved regulations, favours organisations poised to deliver high-quality educational infrastructure projects and those looking to establish or expand operations within the UK construction industry, particularly in Northern Ireland. Participation in the pre-market engagement is non-binding but may offer valuable insights for potential bidders.

## Notice
