Description

Hampshire Music Service (HMS) is one of the largest music services in the country. It provides a music education service to Hampshire schools and colleges and is the lead partner of the Hampshire Music Education Hub since 2012. The purpose of the service is to provide a fully inclusive culture of music across the county for all children, young people, families and communities. One aspect of service provision is the organisation of UK based residentials as well as overseas trips throughout the academic year. The Authority is looking to establish a procurement mechanism with suppliers for both UK based residentials and overseas trips. At present, the Authority is exploring the establishment of a framework under the Procurement Act(PA23) light touch regime to satisfy this requirement. The purpose of the framework would be to act like an open register where suppliers can join throughout its lifetime. The nature of UK residentials and overseas trips is slightly different and as such it is proposed to create a lotted framework denoting each trip type and its requirements in each lot. Suppliers would be able to apply for one or the other of the lots. Indicative figures of demand from the the financial year 2024/25, show that the service area undertook between 10- 12 trips with just over half constituting UK residentials and the remainder being overseas trips in Europe.
