CAT-20-009 Fresh Bakery Items

The Education Authority wishes to establish a framework for Fresh Bakery Items. The successful supplier will be required to deliver to schools within Northern Ireland (However, it should be noted that not all schools may purchase from the Framework). The Education Authority, therefore, wish to carry out pre market engagement with interested suppliers to investigate the current market capabilities and gain knowledge about existing and future products which will assist the tender panel with the development of the tender documentation. This will ensure existing and future requirements be met and will also provide procurement awareness for suppliers regarding the EA's requirements for the purchase of these products.
