The project is designed to provide 30 weeks of open access tuition for violin, viola, cello, and bass, culminating in eleven showcase performances and three end-of-term concerts. The procurement process has been facilitated through PCS-Tender, with the official notice dated 8th March 2019. Although the project was initiated, the award was ultimately marked as unsuccessful. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in music education and event management to expand their offerings in the public sector. Providers that focus on delivering high-quality arts education, particularly in classical music, will find themselves well-positioned to compete in this area. Companies offering orchestral support services and performance coordination may also benefit from exploring similar contracts within the local authority framework. ## Notice West Lothian Council is seeking to contract the coordination, delivery and management of a 'Saturday Strings project' in two West Lothian primary schools.
