Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Procurement Group Limited is currently in the planning stage of an Early Market Engagement exercise for a framework titled "Framework for the Provision of Musical Instruments." This initiative, aimed at suppliers within the musical instruments industry, focuses on engaging with businesses to refine the framework's design and specifications. The engagement process is set to conclude on 26 January 2018, with all inputs required by this deadline. This framework intends to serve the needs of approximately 5,000 members across the education sector, including further education colleges, schools, academies, and universities, located throughout the United Kingdom and beyond.

This procurement opportunity presents a valuable chance for businesses in the musical instruments sector to influence the framework's specifications and better align their offerings with the needs of public sector clients. Companies that specialise in manufacturing or supplying musical instruments and associated accessories, particularly those familiar with the educational needs of institutions, would find this engagement advantageous. By participating in this early market engagement, suppliers can establish connections with the Northern Procurement Group and position themselves favourably for future contracts as the framework evolves.
