This initiative aims to support disadvantaged children and young people in specific delivery areas across England to learn musical instruments and sing. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a deadline for tender submissions set for 31st August 2023. The contract period is scheduled to run from 2nd October 2023 to 31st March 2027. The Music Progression Fund tender by the Department for Education presents a growth opportunity for organisations involved in education and training services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are well-suited to compete in this tender. Businesses interested in supporting music education programs for disadvantaged children can participate in this procurement process to contribute to positive social impact. ## Notice The Department for Education (DfE) is undertaking a competitive grant process to appoint an organisation to design and lead the delivery of a Music Progression Fund programme to support disadvantaged children and young people within 4-6 delivery areas across England. The overall objective of the Music Progression Fund programme is to gather and share important evidence regarding the types of support and interventions that work most effectively in supporting disadvantaged children and young people to learn an instrument/s or to sing to a high standard over a sustained period. Progression may be measured by pupils obtaining at least one 'grade' per year, evidenced through a graded examination (e.g. Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music). Through testing and refining a number of interventions, the most successful strategies would then be promoted to schools in partnership with Music Hubs and other partners in the music education sector. A supplier market engagement event will take place via Teams on Tuesday 18th July 2023, 11:00-12:00 Details of this event will be sent to interested parties following registration.
