Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was carried out by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, aiming to purchase two pre-used Yamaha pianos (Yamaha S6X and Yamaha S3X) for goods delivery. This tender, related to the music and arts sector, and classified under CPV code 37311100 for pianos, took place in the City of London, UKI43 region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is in the 'award' and 'contract' phase, as the contract is complete with the award status marked as active. The procurement method used was direct, below threshold, without competition, and the contract was signed on 31st October 2025 with a performance period from 3rd November to 7th November 2025. The gross value of the contract is £43,968, and it was designated as below threshold, emphasizing the streamlined nature of the procurement process.

This tender represents a notable business opportunity, particularly for businesses specialising in the supply and refurbishment of musical instruments, more specifically for those dealing with high-quality pianos. Such businesses, especially those with experience in dealing with large-scale orders, like the appointed supplier Coach House Pianos based in Swansea, are well-suited to meet the specialised demands of public authorities such as The City of London. Given the direct procurement method, businesses that can offer competitive pricing and swift delivery for specific high-value items could find similar opportunities for growth through direct engagements with government departments when they seek targeted, niche acquisitions.
