£1,100,000 — stated in the notice
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
This is a large award for Financial & Insurance Services — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 8,013 valued Financial & Insurance Services tenders in our corpus.
Education Authority has published 42 notices across all categories, and 52% of its awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
***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 Cash Handling for EA Catering Service.
The purpose of this PME exercise is for EANI to gain an understanding of the latest developments and innovative solutions available 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.
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.
Suppliers who wish to participate in the PME exercise must return the completed questionnaire via the messaging function of the CfT on eTendersNI no later than 15:00 on Friday 31 July 2026.
