What is being bought

This is not a tender exercise by the Education Authority. The current Framework Agreement for Supply and Delivery of Educational Play Equipment (Ref 70297) is due to expire on the 31st December 2021, and as such the EA is currently preparing to initiate the re-tender procurement process. The purpose of this market consultation exercise is to gain an understanding of the latest developments and innovations in the provision of Educational Play Equipment and to assist the Education Authority (EA) in ensuring that the most efficient and effective methods for the supply, delivery and installation of Educational Play Equipment are undertaken and included in its forthcoming procurement exercise. Any information gathered through this market consultation exercise will inform internal business planning and any possible subsequent procurement process and will NOT be appraised in any future procurement exercise. Please note that participation or non-participation in this preliminary market consultation exercise shall not prevent any supplier 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. For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase of the project and is not part of a formal procurement process. EA would like to invite participation in the market consultation exercise, by interested suppliers completing the questionnaire in Appendix A. This questionnaire will be used to assist in gaining a better understanding of the feasibility of the requirements, the most appropriate procurement and operational approach, the capacity of the market to deliver the requirements and an opportunity for the market to highlight any possible risks or issues that may not have previously been considered. Any submission received in response to this exercise will not constitute any contractual agreement between the respondent and the EA. All completed questionnaires must be returned via the Messaging function on eTendersNI no later than 3pm on Friday 29th January 2021.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 22. The category anchor is Catalogues (22461000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 227434 median · 26.4 average (331 of 743 with a bid count)4.4 average (358 of 743 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer315 median · 15 average (2 of 3 with a bid count)3 average (2 of 3 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UK23110 median · 52.3 average (86 of 231 with a bid count)7.4 average (97 of 231 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

    "description": "This is not a tender exercise by the Education Authority. \nThe current Framework Agreement for Supply and Delivery of Educational Play Equipment (Ref 70297) is due to expire on the 31st December 2021, and as such the EA is currently preparing to initiate the re-tender procurement process. \nThe purpose of this market consultation exercise is to gain an understanding of the latest developments and innovations in the provision of Educational Play Equipment and to assist the Education Authority (EA) in ensuring that the most efficient and effective methods for the supply, delivery and installation of Educational Play Equipment are undertaken and included in its forthcoming procurement exercise. \nAny information gathered through this market consultation exercise will inform internal business planning and any possible subsequent procurement process and will NOT be appraised in any future procurement exercise.\nPlease note that participation or non-participation in this preliminary market consultation exercise shall not prevent any supplier 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.\nFor the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase of the project and is not part of a formal procurement process. EA would like to invite participation in the market consultation exercise, by interested suppliers completing the questionnaire in Appendix A. \nThis questionnaire will be used to assist in gaining a better understanding of the feasibility of the requirements, the most appropriate procurement and operational approach, the capacity of the market to deliver the requirements and an opportunity for the market to highlight any possible risks or issues that may not have previously been considered. \nAny submission received in response to this exercise will not constitute any contractual agreement between the respondent and the EA. \nAll completed questionnaires must be returned via the Messaging function on eTendersNI no later than 3pm on Friday 29th January 2021.",
