Tender description

***This is not a tender exercise*** The Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) invites interested suppliers to participate in a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise to seek market views for a potential Regional Vehicle Maintenance Services Contract. The purpose of this engagement is to gather market feedback on current capabilities, innovative solutions, capacity, and potential risks to help inform EANI's future requirements and procurement approach. This is not a tender exercise and does not form part of any procurement process. Participation or non-participation will not affect any supplier's ability to participate in any future procurement opportunity, nor will it confer any advantage or disadvantage. Further information, including the PME questionnaire, is available within the documents section of this CfT on eTendersNI. Completed questionnaires should be returned via the messaging function within this CfT no later than 15:00 on 2 November 2026.
