two.2.4) Description of the procurement

The Power of Music: A National Plan for Music Education (NPME) outlines a bold vision for music education in England - that all children and young people should be able to create music, learn a musical instrument, make music with others, learn to sing, and progress their interests and talents as far as they would like. Partnership between the broad range of services, organisations, and educators that are relevant to the musical lives of children and young people is essential if this is to be achieved. The work of Norfolk County Council’s Music Service and the opportunities being created through the current Norfolk Music Hub structure for a diverse range of children and young people, including those with SEND and from our more disadvantaged communities, fully supports our shared ambition for all children and young people to Flourish. Given the demonstrable positive impact that engagement in music has for individuals, it is also in line with Norfolk’s Health and Wellbeing Strategy and its priorities to drive integration, prioritise prevention, address inequalities, and enable resilient communities. Therefore, Norfolk County Council intend to procure a Music Hub Customer Relationship Management system to support the breadth and diversity of offer with adaptability for future requirements should these become required.
