Procurement Pipeline
We are delighted to launch our 4 year commercial tender pipeline.
The pipeline has been developed following feedback from both the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSEs) and suppliers. It is a live tool, updated regularly, providing a list of prospective commercial activities planned by EA. It includes all future potential activity even if funding has not been secured.
The aim of the pipeline is to stimulate competition including with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) and to make the market aware of EAs future opportunities.
It should be noted that the pipeline is subject to funding and EAs requirements. Suppliers are encouraged periodically to review the pipeline for updates on timelines and requirements.
All EAs tenders are advertised on eTendersNI where suppliers can register.
