About the buyer

Education Authority Northern Ireland administers most education sector procurement in Northern Ireland, and buys as a non-departmental public body with its own procurement service. That service is one of six Centres of Procurement Expertise in Northern Ireland. Every tender is issued on eTendersNI, where suppliers register, pick their CPV codes and add the Authority as an area of interest. Dynamic purchasing systems are open to join, and a published pipeline lists current activity. Procurement support also goes to schools, school meals kitchens and youth clubs. Contract categories run from transport, fleet and catering to construction, ICT and business services.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of Education Authority Northern Ireland's contract awards have been in IT services, construction work and business services.
