Original Tender Description

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 Occupational Health Services. The purpose of this PME exercise is for EANI to gain an understanding of the current market and will be used to assist EANI 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. 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(s). 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.

Tender Quality Score

This is a pre-market engagement notice, not a formal tender. It aims to gather market intelligence for future procurement, with clear objectives and a disclosed estimated value. However, it lacks specific procurement details and formal tender requirements.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The notice is clearly identified as a pre-market engagement and not a formal tender, which aligns with regulatory expectations for such exercises. The CPV code is appropriate for the service area. Deadlines are provided, though the submission deadline for the PME questionnaire might be considered short for comprehensive market feedback.

Clarity80/100

The purpose and scope of the Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) are clearly articulated. The document explicitly states it is not a tender exercise and outlines the intended outcomes. The availability of further information and a questionnaire is clearly communicated.

Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, and estimated value is present. The contract duration and start date are specified, although these relate to a potential future procurement. The primary missing element is the content of the actual tender documents, which are stated to be available for download.

Content of tender documents not directly available in the provided text.
Fairness85/100

The notice explicitly states that participation or non-participation in this PME will not affect future procurement processes, ensuring fairness. It also clarifies that no supplier will be placed at an advantage or disadvantage. The estimated value is disclosed.

Practicality65/100

The notice directs users to eTendersNI for downloading further information and the questionnaire, indicating an e-procurement platform. However, the specific contract start date and financing information are not detailed as this is a pre-market engagement, not a live tender.

Specific financing information not provided as this is a PME.
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration are populated. The status is 'planning', which is consistent with a pre-market engagement. No disputes or suspensions are indicated.

Sustainability50/100

There is no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation within the provided text for this pre-market engagement. The funding source (EU funded) is also not specified.

No mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation.

Strengths

Clear identification as a Pre-Market Engagement (PME).
Well-defined objectives for market engagement.
Disclosure of estimated value.
Explicit statement on fairness for future participation.

Concerns

Lack of specific tender requirements or evaluation criteria (as expected for PME).
Content of downloadable documents not directly accessible.
Limited information on sustainability aspects.

Recommendations

1. Ensure clear communication of the PME outcomes and how they will inform the subsequent tender.
2. For future formal tenders, ensure detailed evaluation criteria are published.
3. Consider incorporating sustainability considerations into future tender requirements.
