What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe EA invites tenders for the Maintenance, Recharging and Testing of Fire Extinguishers and Fire Fighting Equipment for a 2 (two) year Initial Period, with options to extend for 2 further periods of 12 months each. It should be noted that the extension options may or may not be exercised. EA’s intention is to award the contract to one Contractor capable of providing the service specification for the period of the contract to ensure that the fire fighting equipment is fully maintained and tested on a regular basis. EA and Libraries NI will require this service for immediate use but other bodies listed have the potential to use the contract going forward also.

- Price carries 75 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

- Review procedure
The Education Authority incorporated a standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract was communicated to tenderers. That notification provided full information on the award decision. The standstill period, which was for a minimum of 10 calendar days, provided time for the unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before any contracts were entered into.
