Tender description

***This is not a tender exercise*** The Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) would like to invite participation in a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise to seek the views of the market for the provision of Occupational Health Services. The purpose of this PME exercise is for EANI to gain an understanding of the current market and will be used to assist EANI in gaining a better understanding of the feasibility of the requirements, the most appropriate procurement and operational approach, the capacity of the market to deliver the requirements and an opportunity for the market to highlight any possible risks or issues. This PME exercise also seeks to identify indicative costs to help inform the business case on the commercial aspects for the delivery and implementation of solution(s). For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase of the project and is not part of any formal procurement process and there is no commitment at this stage to carry out such a process. Any information gathered will not be considered in any future tender exercise. Please note that participation or non-participation in this PME exercise shall not prevent any supplier from participating in any future procurement process, nor is it intended that any information provided shall place any supplier at an advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement exercise. Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from the documents section of the CfT on eTendersNI.

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.
