** This is not a tender exercise by the Education Authority**. Interested participants should complete the questionnaire provided in the CfT documents and return via the eTendersNI messaging function. Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a Framework Agreement for the provision of Outdoor Educational Play Equipment which may include the design, supply, delivery and installation of such equipment. The Framework may also cover post installation inspection, annual inspections and on-going maintenance and repairs to equipment where appropriate. 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. The questionnaire must be completed and returned via the Messaging function no later than 3pm on Wednesday 20th April 2022. There are no formal tender 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/provider participating in a potential procurement process nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any supplier/provider 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.
