These sessions include live music, instrument learning, music appreciation, and songwriting, aiming at engaging individuals, especially those hard to reach, through creative initiatives. Conducted under an open, below-threshold competition, this procedure progressed from tender to award, with the contract active as of 1st April 2025, running till 31st March 2026.

Suitable businesses are those offering professional musicians with relevant qualifications and a proven track record of impacting diverse communities, including mental health and substance misuse sectors.
