## Summary

This contract falls under the industry category of "Musical instruments and parts" and is valued at GBP 37,895.67. The award, made through the Department for Education's Musical Instruments, Equipment and Technology Framework, commenced on 30th April 2025 and is set to end on 31st May 2027. Located in England, the procurement was in the award stage as of 29th April 2025, with the contract being published on 2nd May 2025. The procurement method employed was a direct award, indicating a straightforward selection of the supplier.

This procurement offers business growth opportunities primarily for suppliers involved in the musical instruments sector. Although the contract has already been awarded to Chamberlain Music, suppliers in similar fields can glean insights into the purchasing patterns and preferences of Leicestershire County Council. Businesses of a larger scale, rather than SMEs or VCSEs, are likely to be suited for such contracts, especially those already participating in framework agreements with the Department for Education. For firms already engaged in similar frameworks, this example underscores the importance of maintaining a strong presence and rapport with buying organisations for potential future direct awards.
