Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bristol purchased cameras and associated accessories for its Department of Film. This is a goods requirement covering camera equipment rather than filming, production or other professional services. Delivery is in the South West of England, with the buyer based in Bristol. The procurement is classified as cameras under CPV 38651000. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, specialist audiovisual equipment distributors, photographic and film equipment suppliers, and businesses able to provide cameras together with compatible accessories. It may also interest firms supplying equipment to higher education film departments or similar institutional users. The named buyer is the University of Bristol, whose address is in Bristol.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The University of Bristol used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 3 August 2026 to Creative Video Productions Ltd for £73,430.40 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 3 August 2028. The tender submission deadline was 1 August 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation and award were conducted through the framework call-off route; the available record does not set out separate price, quality or technical scoring criteria. One supplier is named for the award, and the tender is marked complete.

This award demonstrates established demand from the University of Bristol for camera equipment and accessories to support university film teaching and production activity. Businesses considering future work with this buyer would need a credible range of current camera products and compatible accessories, together with the ability to supply an institutional film department reliably. Experience of framework-based public sector purchasing would be particularly relevant, because this requirement was bought through a framework call-off rather than an open standalone tender. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a specialist small supplier with appropriate product knowledge and fulfilment capacity could be competitive in a future requirement. A larger audiovisual equipment provider was selected for this contract, indicating that the buyer also values suppliers able to deliver the requirement at institutional scale.
