answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2019 answer text <p>The Department used a selective tender process for contracting a drafter. This approach was taken so that this non-statutory model music curriculum can be made available before the end of the summer term. The Department ran the procurement in accordance with Government procurement rules, which allow for selective tendering for requirements valued below £20,000.</p><p>The Incorporated Society of Musicians and Music Mark were invited to bid as the two UK music subject associations. The Associated Board for the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) was invited to bid as the largest music education body in the UK.</p><p>The Department has received offers from practitioners to participate in development of the model curriculum. As part of their work, the expert panel and the lead drafter have been drawing on input from members of the teaching profession and from wider music organisations. This will continue to be the case throughout the duration of the development process. The model music curriculum will build on and will not conflict with the statutory music curriculum.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb grouped question UIN 233461 233463 233464 question first answered 21/03/2019 16:18:36 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
