First: it is impossible to guess what you want here since \tempo = "123"
would not be a valid command, and neither would be \tempo = 123.

Second: why do you have bpm defined inside of \header?  Header variables
are not visible in the score.

I just tried
bpm = 123

\relative c' {
  \tempo 4 = \bpm "%the header bpm variable
 c'4
}

and found out that variables are not permitted in this place.  Which is
probably an oversight rather than anything intentional.  Feel free to
file a bug report.  It might be quite simpler, however, just to write

bpm = \tempo 4 = 123

\relative c' {
 \bpm
 c'4
}

And can you _please_ _please_ _please_ stop appending the whole thing
you are replying to at the bottom of your mails?
