AI Contract Overview

The Education Authority is establishing a Framework Agreement, EDR-26-002, for the design, supply, installation, and inspection of outdoor educational play equipment in Northern Ireland. Anticipated to commence on March 1, 2027, the agreement will run for an initial 24 months with a possible 24-month extension. The framework is open to a wide range of educational bodies, including primary and post-primary schools, Catholic maintained schools, voluntary grammar schools, integrated schools, and various other educational and youth centers. The scope is divided into five distinct lots: fixed outdoor playground equipment, outdoor fitness equipment, bespoke outdoor educational structures, ancillary structures such as polytunnels and sheds, and independent inspection services for equipment and safety surfacing. Award decisions are based on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender approach, with weightings typically split between quality and price. For most lots, price accounts for 60% to 70% of the evaluation, while quality metrics focus on service delivery plans, design methodology, and scaled layout drawings. Suppliers must adhere to strict health, safety, and accessibility standards, with a particular emphasis on post-installation inspection reports. The procurement process includes a tender submission deadline of December 7, 2026, and encourages the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises.
