ECC on behalf of the Greater Essex Music Hub are looking to procure the provision of an online curriculum support tool and an online digital platform with an experienced and innovative digital learning partner to replace its existing contract. ECC is keen to continue with this methodology of delivering this Service to our schools. Greater Essex Music Hub has developed a strong portfolio of both local and national partnership organisations to support the work of the Music Hub across the county, and ECC are looking to continue to work with an experienced and innovative digital learning partner. As a geographically large music Hub area, a strong online music resource offer is essential in helping maintain the engage and support of schools, enabling good quality music provision to be delivered consistently and to support musical transition between key stages. This digital offering will help compliment the other services and opportunities offered to schools, such as instrumental learning, access to high quality singing, instrumental hire and is a tangible way of offering virtual support to teachers and pupils when face-to-face contact is not always possible. There is a proven demand for digital learning resources across the whole Music Hub region with strong historical engagement within the curriculum resources offered to schools in each local authority area. Greater Essex Music Hub will not require the successful bidder to interact with any other interfaces or contracted providers, however, there may be introduction to other partners who are developing or providing work as a Hub partner, that may benefit the on-going provision of this contract holder. With the publication of the Model Music Curriculum in 2021 and a New National Plan for Music Education in 2022, it is expected that the provider of this service will support schools both to deliver the Model Music Curriculum as a minimum standard, and to support the wider delivery of the National Plan for Music Education. The digital learning platform should be able to provide resources for at least 667 locations, allowing specialist and non-specialist teachers to deliver a high-quality music curriculum and to focus their time on quality delivery and musical progression for their pupils. The project will be in two lots: curriculum support tool and an online digital platform. Each lot has a maximum level of funding per annum as follows: - Lot 1: max value £125k - Lot 2: max value £50k Total value (estimated): £875,000 excluding VAT.
