***This is not a tender exercise by the Education Authority***

The Education Authority Northern Ireland(EANI) wishes to engage with the market to seek their views on establishing a robust, value for money contract for the provision of ICT Infrastructure Equipment and Services. 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. Suppliers who wish to participate in the market engagement exercise should complete

the pre-market engagement questionnaire. Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from CfT documents.
