## Description
***This is not a tender exercise*** The Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) would
like to invite participation in a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise to seek the
views of the market for the provision of a Tachograph Analysis and Support. The primary
purpose of this preliminary market engagement exercise (“Exercise”) is for the Education
Authority (EA) to explain, and seek supplier views and feedback on, potential approaches
for Tachograph Analysis and Support. This PME exercise also seeks to identify indicative
costs to help inform the business case on the commercial aspects for the delivery and
implementation of solution. For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase of the
project and is not part of any formal procurement process and there is no commitment at
this stage to carry out such a process. Any information gathered will not be considered in
any future tender exercise. Please note that participation or non-participation in this PME
exercise shall not prevent any supplier from participating in any future procurement
Page 2 to 4
process, nor is it intended that any information provided shall place any supplier at an
advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement exercise. Further information
including the questionnaire can be downloaded from the documents section of the CfT on
eTendersNI. Interested suppliers are asked to complete and return the questionnaire.
