Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories — tender awards
Public-procurement contracts awarded under CPV category 37 (Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories) in the last 12 months, in aggregate — by council, competition type and threshold level. Individual awards are on the filtered search and browse page.
Supplier identity is never aggregated on this page — a winning bidder's name is often a person's name, not a company's, so it follows the same registered-access rule as the browse page's supplier search.

Since October 2025: 69 awards worth £99,961,291 combined.
Framework agreements can dominate a year's total: A large share of awarded value comes from framework agreements, whose published value is often the framework's ceiling — the maximum that can be drawn down over its full, often multi-year, lifetime — rather than money spent in the year it was awarded. Checked directly against real data: a single council's own largest year can be dominated by framework agreements alone. A single large framework can make one year look far larger than its neighbours without that reflecting actual annual spend.
