## Description
The primary purpose of this preliminary market engagement exercise (“Exercise”) is for the Education Authority (EA) to outline and seek supplier views and feedback on potential approaches for the provision of a Speech and Language Therapy Service for Nettlefield Primary School. This is not a tender exercise by the Education Authority. 
The Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) wishes to engage with the market to gather views on the establishment of a robust, value for money Contract for the provision of a Speech and Language Therapy Service for Nettlefield Primary School. The anticipated contract period is from 1 March 2027 to 28th February 2029 (indicative), with options to extend for periods up to a further 24 months. 
Any information gathered through this market consultation exercise will be used solely to inform internal business planning and any potential future procurement process. It will not be evaluated as part of any subsequent tender exercise. Participation or non participation in this preliminary market consultation will not preclude any supplier from taking part in any future procurement process, nor will any information submitted provide any supplier with an advantage or disadvantage. For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase and not part of a formal procurement procedure. 
Suppliers who wish to participate in the market engagement exercise should complete the pre-market engagement questionnaire available on eTendersNI under the unique reference EANI 5464. Further information, including the questionnaire, can be downloaded from the CfT documents. Completed questionnaires must be submitted via the Messaging function of eTendersNI no later than 3:00pm on Monday 26th October 2026. No additional tender documents are required at this stage beyond the questionnaire.
