Description
North Tyneside Council requires the annual renewal of TheMusicLicence, issued by PPL PRS Ltd, which grants the legal right to play recorded music in public or on its premises.

The renewal ensures continued lawful use of music across the authority's estate, including offices, public‑facing environments, and operational facilities.
The requirement covers a 12‑month licence period, enabling the authority to use recorded music for background ambience, staff welfare areas, public waiting spaces, events, and other permitted uses under the terms of TheMusicLicence.
As PPL PRS Ltd is the sole provider of this statutory licence, the contract is awarded directly on the basis of exclusive rights.
