Preliminary Market Engagement for Term Service Short Contract for Response, Planned Maintenance and Minor Works

***This is not a tender exercise by the Education Authority.*** The Education Authority wishes to engage with the market to seek views from interested organisations on the future provision of TSSC to the Education Authority. This questionnaire will be used to assist in gaining a better understanding of the requirements, the capacity of the market to deliver the requirements and an opportunity for the market to highlight any possible risks or issues that may not have previously been considered. Any information gathered through this market consultation exercise will inform internal business planning and any possible subsequent procurement process and will NOT be appraised in any future tender evaluation exercise. Please note that participation or non-participation in this preliminary market consultation exercise shall not prevent any supplier from participating in any potential procurement process, nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any supplier at an advantage or disadvantage in any forthcoming procurement process. For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase of the project and is not part of a formal procurement process. Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from Cft documents. The Questionnaire must be completed and returned via the Messaging function of eTendersni
