Opportunity overview

Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a Concession Contract for the Collection and Disposal of Used Cooking Oil for the Education Authority throughout Northern Ireland. 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 of CfT 6741529. The questionnaire must be completed and submitted no later than 3 pm on the closing date detailed. There are no formal 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 preprocurement market engagement shall not prevent any supplier/provider from 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. No estimated contract value is available at this stage. If taken forward to tender, the concession contract value will be established at tender stage and it is anticipated this will be calculated on the basis of the total estimated revenue receivable by the concessionaire over the duration of the contract through historic usage relating to the volume of oil collected, in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023.
