Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath Spa University procured broadcasting and related communications equipment for delivery in the South West of England. The requirement was a goods supply order covering a Sony a7 IV mirrorless camera with 24–105mm lens, Sony audio adapter, batteries and charger, Manfrotto video support, neutral-density filters, camera backpacks and cases, a SmallRig camera cage, Sennheiser headphones, a Sony 70–200mm lens, a Sirui rapid system, a DJI Osmo Pocket 3, and Canon and Tiffen lenses. The procurement falls within radio, television, communication, telecommunications and related equipment (CPV 32000000). It was arranged by Bath Spa University, with delivery in the South West. The equipment supports professional image and sound capture, camera handling, storage, protection and associated production activity.

This procurement is complete and was awarded on 15 September 2025 to Proactive UK Ltd. It was a selective call-off from the NWUPC Broadcasting Equipment and Integration Services framework, Lot 1. The awarded value was £65,984.40 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract ran from 16 September 2025 to 23 September 2025. The tender submission deadline was 15 September 2025. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process, with the selected supplier providing the specified broadcasting equipment and accessories. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Proactive UK Ltd, an SME based in Hemel Hempstead, was the successful supplier. Bath Spa University was the buying organisation.

This award indicates a requirement for a specialist supplier able to source and supply professional photography and video equipment as a coordinated package. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need product knowledge across Sony, Canon, DJI, Manfrotto, Sachtler, Sirui, Lowepro, Peli, SmallRig, Sennheiser, K&F Concept and Tiffen equipment, including cameras, lenses, audio accessories, power supplies, support systems, filters, cases and bags. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that a business of this scale can satisfy the buyer through a focused specialist offering rather than a large generalist organisation. Experience fulfilling framework call-offs, accurate product matching, reliable procurement and the ability to coordinate delivery of varied equipment would be important when this requirement returns to market.
