## Summary

The procurement process for "Musical Instruments - Cornets & Trombones" was conducted by Leicestershire County Council, focusing on the supply of musical instruments and parts within the goods category. The process was completed through a direct award under the DfE Musical Instruments, Equipment and Technology Framework. The tender regarded a contract with a total value of £6,850 and is directed at the United Kingdom, particularly in England. The awarding decision was made on 29th April 2025, with the contract period set from 30th April 2025 to 31st May 2027. The procurement stage is the award phase, and the procurement method utilised was a direct award, indicating a straightforward procurement process suitable for the council's specific needs.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for established suppliers of musical instruments. While it was awarded to a large entity, John Packer, it highlights potential for similar companies to engage in such frameworks for future procurements. Businesses within the musical instrument supply industry can benefit from these opportunities by engaging with public sector frameworks and enhancing their profiles to meet the specific and consistent requirements of organisations like Leicestershire County Council. Despite the focus on direct procurement in this instance, developing a reputation within such frameworks can open doors to recurring contracts and partnerships.
