Scotland Excel is conducting a tender for the "Supply and Delivery of Musical Instruments," aiming to establish a framework agreement benefiting 32 local authorities and other bodies in Scotland. The procurement is currently in the award stage, having an estimated value of £7,000,000, with planning conducted under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, following the UK's withdrawal from the EU.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the musical instrument sector, especially those specialising in the supply and delivery of educational and professional musical instruments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a focus on musical products would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the participation criteria encourage community benefits and may require demonstrated capacity in quality management and environmental practices.
