The programme seeks to gather evidence on effective interventions to support music learning, with the opportunity for business engagement during a market event on July 18, 2023. Interested parties can register to participate via the provided link, with support available from the Jaggaer helpdesk. This tender by the Department for Education presents a valuable opportunity for organisations operating in the education and training services sector. Businesses involved in music education or support services for disadvantaged groups are well-suited to participate in designing and implementing the Music Progression Fund programme. The tender's open procedure allows for broad participation, with a clear focus on achieving positive outcomes for pupils through innovative music education strategies. ## 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 (any Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music awarding organisation). 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.
