Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "COV - 8132 - Coventry Music - Music Tutor DPS Award Notice" was led by Coventry City Council, focusing on education and training services in the Coventry region, UKG33. This contract falls under the services category within the education industry and has been marked as complete. The process utilised an open procedure under the Light Touch Regime, specifically a pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) aimed at recruiting high-quality music tutors. The award was issued for the period from 1st July 2025 to 30th September 2025, with a total contract value of £72,150.65. The contract was actively awarded to two suppliers, Love Un Limited and Jessica Hannah, both based in Birmingham, UKG31. The DPS is valid for five years from its commencement and can be extended by three additional years, but will not go beyond 31st August 2028.

This procurement process presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those offering music-related services in schools and community venues. The focus on quality criteria suggests that businesses with a strong track record in providing high-quality educational services would be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Love Un Limited and Jessica Hannah, which already supply services under this award, demonstrate that smaller businesses can effectively capture such opportunities if they meet the quality standards required by the Coventry City Council. This ongoing arrangement, through the DPS, allows for new entrants to qualify over time, offering a continual prospect for business growth within this specialised sector.
