    Brief

    The Northern Ireland Education Authority (EA) has established a Framework Agreement for the supply of outdoor furniture made from recycled plastic. This framework is available to the EA and a wide range of educational and cultural organizations in Northern Ireland, including primary and post-primary schools, further education colleges, independent schools, grammar schools, nursery schools, youth centres, libraries, teacher training centres, and specialized institutions such as Armagh Observatory and Planetarium and Middletown Centre for Autism. While participating bodies may access this framework, it does not replace any existing supply agreements they currently have in place. Suppliers can register to provide outdoor furniture products and services to multiple eligible organizations through this single framework agreement. This presents an opportunity to supply quality recycled plastic furniture to numerous educational establishments across Northern Ireland.
