Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education (DfE) has announced the award of its "Musical Instruments, Equipment and Technology Framework" contract, focusing on the education sector and related support services. The procurement falls under the "goods" category, particularly concerning musical instruments and related parts (CPV code: 37300000). The tender was conducted using an open procedure exceeding the threshold, with the contract period spanning from 8th October 2024 to 7th October 2027. The procurement process is complete, and the total contract value is £25,000,000 GBP. The project supports various locations, including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the rest of the world. Key dates include the tender period ending on 24th July 2024 and the final award announced on 5th November 2024.

This framework provides significant opportunities for businesses that manufacture or supply acoustic, electric, and digital musical instruments, as well as ancillary equipment and technology. Given the project's focus on inclusivity, particularly for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), businesses specialising in adaptive musical instruments or educational technology could find substantial growth opportunities. Suitable participants include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). As the award involves 59 suppliers, there is potential for networking and partnership opportunities within this substantial procurement framework.
