Description

This Prior Information Notice is not a call for competition but is an early market engagement exercise to enable Crescent Purchasing Consortium (CPC) to engage with suppliers to better understand the market and explore the potential for a Framework for the provision of Musical Instruments to service the needs of CPC Members and the wider Public Sector as a whole. The CPC wishes to go to market for a Framework for the provision of Musical Instruments and to this end, CPC would like to invite suppliers to engage with CPC, through its procurement partners NPG Limited, to discuss the nature of the forthcoming framework, its’ design, specification, and constructs. This notice is seeking suppliers who wish to engage with us in this regard. The Framework for the provision of Musical Instruments will provide CPC Members and organizations throughout the public sector with access to an efficient and effective Musical Instruments framework. The exact nature of the specification has yet to be determined and this early market engagement is critical in ensuring an appropriate framework structure and specification is established. The exact volume of business through this framework is unknown at this time and is solely dependent upon the extent to which CPC Members and wider public sector organizations decide to utilize the resulting framework. It is equally unknown whether or not this framework will be structured with one or more lots. Within Section II.1.6 we state the framework will not be split into lots but this will be determined following the completion of this early market engagement exercise.
