***Pre-Market Engagement*** ICT-26-002 Tachograph Analysis and Support

***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

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.
