    Brief

    The Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) is conducting a market engagement exercise to gather supplier views on a potential contract for sustainable catering disposables and packaging products. This is a preliminary scoping phase, not a formal tender, and is designed to inform internal planning for a possible future procurement process. Information provided will not be used in any future tender evaluation, and participation is entirely voluntary and will not disadvantage or advantage any supplier in subsequent procurement activities. Interested suppliers should complete the pre-market engagement questionnaire and submit it via eTendersNI by 3pm on Wednesday 21 October 2026. No formal tender documents are required at this stage.
