Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council has completed a procurement process for the direct award of BEAT drum machines under the Department for Education's Musical Instruments, Equipment and Technology Framework. This procurement falls within the goods category, specifically focusing on musical instruments, and is designated with the CPV code 37300000. It operates in the region of England, United Kingdom. The contract was formally awarded to Normans (Burton Upon Trent) LTD on 29th April 2025, with the contract period spanning from 30th April 2025 to 31st May 2027. Although the tender was a direct award, further details were published on 12th August 2025.

This procurement presents business growth opportunities for companies involved in the supply of musical instruments and related equipment, with a focus on large-scale suppliers rather than small or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE). Businesses looking to expand their presence in the educational equipment sector should note that contracts such as these are typically awarded based on existing frameworks, which mean direct awards can often bypass open competition. Suppliers already listed on government frameworks are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities.
