Education Authority · Education

In brief

Education Authority has cancelled this procurement.

It is a framework worth up to £990,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 10 May 2026.

It is split into 5 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.
