    Brief

    The Education Authority (EA) is conducting a pre-market engagement exercise to establish a 4-year Framework Agreement for Human Resources, Organisational Development, Learning, and Business Management support services. This framework will provide flexible advisory and specialist resources to EA and eligible Northern Ireland educational bodies, including primary and post-primary schools, further education colleges, integrated schools, independent schools, libraries, and other educational institutions. The framework comprises ten lots covering: Transformational and Change Management, Leadership, Employee Relations, Recruitment, Business Analysis and Data Analytics, Culture and Values, Employee Engagement, Coaching and Mentoring, Equality and Human Rights, and Performance and Reward. Services will support normal business functions, respond to customer needs, manage workload peaks, and deliver specialist expertise for one-off projects. This pre-engagement exercise aims to assess market capacity, feasibility of requirements, appropriate procurement approaches, and identify potential risks or issues. Note: This is not a legal services framework and is not intended to replace existing frameworks already in use by participating organisations.
