## Summary

Leicestershire County Council has completed a procurement process under the direct award method for the acquisition of musical instruments, specifically focused on percussion workshops. The procurement falls within the industry category of musical instruments and parts (CPV 37300000) and serves the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This contracting process culminated with an award issued on 29th April 2025, covering a contract period from 30th April 2025 to 31st May 2027, with a total award value of £20,625. The tender is part of the 'goods' procurement category and utilised the DfE Musical Instruments, Equipment and Technology Framework for a direct purchase strategy.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of musical instruments and related workshops, particularly those capable of working within established frameworks like the DfE's for musical equipment. While the contract value indicates a limited scope for smaller enterprises and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE), larger firms such as Chamberlain Music, which was awarded the contract, will benefit from the direct award nature and defined contract period. Businesses with a robust supply chain and experience in government contracts may find this type of opportunity advantageous for extending their market reach into educational and public sectors.
