What is being bought

Published requirement description

***This is not a tender exercise by the Education Authority. ***The Education Authority wishes to engage with the market to understand market capacity for the Supply of AdBlue® Exhaust Fluid. 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 tender evaluation exercise. Please note that participation or non-participation 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. For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase of the project and is not part of a formal procurement process. Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from Cft documents. The Questionnaire must be completed and returned via the Messaging function of eTendersNI.

What this means for your bid

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
