    The Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI), in preparation for the procurement

    process for the Appointment of an Integrated Supply Team for Priory Integrated College, have prepared a Pre-Market Engagement Briefing Document (including attachments) to provide suppliers with pre-tender information regarding the forthcoming project.

    This document may be downloaded from the CfT documents section of CfT CA Unique ID

    EANI-4986 via eTendersNI.

    Suppliers, as part of the Pre-Market Engagement process, also have the opportunity to

    submit queries regarding the project. This should be done via the messaging service in

    the above CfT on eTendersNI no later than 5pm on Friday 7th November 2025. A

    response to these queries shall be forwarded shortly after this date.

    Please note that participation or non-participation in this Pre-Market Engagement shall not

    prevent any supplier from participating in any potential procurement process. In addition,

    for the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the process is not part of a formal procurement

    process.
