Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Northern College of Music is currently engaged in a procurement process for the leasing, tuning, servicing, and maintenance of pianos. This tender, classified under the industry category of 'services' and specifically related to 'instrument tuning services', involves a contract period spanning 10 years, with a total value of £4,534,000. The procurement is at the Award stage, following the cancellation of the initial open tender process. The contract was signed on 1st August 2020 and is set to be active until 31st July 2030, with delivery expected in the UKD33 region.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the musical instrument services sector, including SMEs specialising in piano leasing, tuning, and maintenance. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in the care and servicing of high-end pianos such as Steinway and Yamaha would be particularly well-positioned to compete for roles in this ongoing contract, especially given the recent transition of the contract to Musiq Group Ltd following the administration of the previous supplier.
