## Description
**Please note, this is not a Tender exercise**
The Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI), in preparation for a procurement
process, wish to engage with the market to seek supplier views and feedback on potential

Market Feedback will be provided via the completion of a questionnaire, to be submitted
via eTendersNI under Resource ID 	6818092. There are no documents to be completed or provided other than the questionnaire.
Any information gathered through this market consultation exercise will inform internal
business planning and any possible subsequent procurement process and will NOT be

Please note that participation or nonparticipation in this preliminary market consultation exercise shall not prevent any supplier from participating in any potential procurement process, nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any supplier at an advantage or disadvantage in any forthcoming procurement process.
