## Summary

Coventry City Council procured musical instruments, equipment and related technology as goods for delivery in Coventry and the wider West Midlands. The requirement sits within the musical instruments category (CPV 37310000), with an additional connection to education and training services. It supports the council’s education-related musical provision and covers the supply of instruments and associated equipment or technology rather than construction or consultancy work. The named buying organisation is Coventry City Council, based in Coventry. The procurement was delivered through the Department for Education’s Musical Instruments, Equipment and Technology Framework, indicating a structured purchasing route for education-focused musical supplies. Businesses supplying musical instruments, classroom music equipment and related technology are the closest commercial fit, particularly those able to serve public-sector education requirements.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. Coventry City Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, making a direct award under the Department for Education’s Musical Instruments, Equipment and Technology Framework. The award was made to Normans (Burton Upon Trent) Limited on 20 July 2026. The awarded value is £35,440 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 21 July 2026 to 20 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was categorised as goods and was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active.

For suppliers that did not win, this award provides a clear indication of Coventry City Council’s demand for musical instruments, equipment and technology supporting education. The successful supplier is a small or medium-sized business, showing that the requirement can be served by a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor. Credible competitors would need a practical range of musical instruments and associated equipment, the ability to supply technology alongside physical goods, and reliable fulfilment for education customers in Coventry and the West Midlands. Familiarity with the Department for Education framework and its call-off arrangements would be important, as would the operational capacity to manage a council purchase and deliver consistently throughout the contract requirement.
