Description
Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a framework for the supply and delivery of cleaning and hygiene products to 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 5985106. 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 from participating in a potential procurement process nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any supplier 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.
