When this comes round again

The Education Authority has published 3 Agriculture & Farming Products notices, about every 16 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around October 2027.

71% of The Education Authority’s 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 →

The brief

Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a framework for the provision of Tree Surgery and Tree Surveying services for the Education Authority throughout Northern Ireland.

Suppliers who wish to participate in the market engagement exercise should complete the pre-market questionnaire.

Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from the CfT Documents. of CfT 6702133.

The questionnaire must be completed and submitted no later than 3pm on the closing date detailed.

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-particiation in this pre-procurement market enagement shall not prevent 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.
