Outdoor Educational Play Equipment (including installation)

The primary purpose of this preliminary market engagement exercise (“Exercise”) is for the Education Authority (EA) to outline and seek supplier views and feedback on potential approaches for the provision and installation of Outdoor Educational Play Equipment. This is not a tender exercise by the Education Authority. The Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) wishes to engage with the market to gather views on the establishment of a robust, value‑for‑money Framework Agreement for the supply and installation of Outdoor Educational Play Equipment to individual education establishments across Northern Ireland. The anticipated framework period is from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2028 (indicative), with options to extend for periods up to a further 24 months. Any information gathered through this market consultation exercise will be used solely to inform internal business planning and any potential future procurement process. It will not be evaluated as part of any subsequent tender exercise. Participation—or non‑participation—in this preliminary market consultation will not preclude any supplier from taking part in any future procurement process, nor will any information submitted provide any supplier with an advantage or disadvantage. For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase and not part of a formal procurement procedure. As part of this engagement, the Authority intends to meet with any respondents to discuss their submissions in more detail and to further inform the development of any future tender exercise. Suppliers who wish to participate in the market engagement exercise should complete the pre‑market engagement questionnaire available on eTendersNI under the unique reference EANI‑5173. Further information, including the questionnaire, can be downloaded from the CfT documents. Completed questionnaires must be submitted via the Messaging function of eTendersNI no later than 3:00pm on Wednesday 25 March 2026. No additional tender documents are required at this stage beyond the questionnaire.
