## Summary

Leicestershire County Council has completed a public procurement process for the direct award of musical instruments, specifically software, headphones, and microphone equipment. This award was executed via the Department for Education's Musical Instruments, Equipment, and Technology Framework. The procurement falls under the "Musical instruments and parts" category (CPV 37300000) and is valued at £3,443.19. The award was granted to Warwick Music Limited on 29th April 2025, with the contract period running from 30th April 2025 to 31st May 2027. This procurement process was a direct award, indicative of a quick selection without a competitive tender phase, aimed at efficiently fulfilling the Council's requirements for educational equipment across the United Kingdom.

This tender presents limited business growth opportunities as it was a direct award rather than a competitive bidding process, which typically limits the pool of potential suppliers. However, businesses specialising in musical technology and educational equipment that can enter into direct negotiations or partnerships with public entities like Leicestershire County Council may find this area ripe for exploration. Companies similar to Warwick Music Limited, which fits the profile of an SME, may benefit from establishing frameworks agreements or demonstrating unique value propositions to secure such niche, direct procurement opportunities in the future.
