Summary of the contracting process

Bath Spa University procured a large order of broadcast video cameras and related broadcasting equipment. The procurement is for goods rather than services or construction work, with delivery in the South West of England. The requirement supports the university’s broadcast, media production or teaching activities, although the published description does not provide a more detailed equipment schedule. Warehouse Express Ltd was selected as the supplier. The buying organisation is Bath Spa University, based in Bath. This is therefore relevant to businesses that supply professional broadcast cameras and associated broadcasting equipment for institutional or education-sector use, particularly suppliers able to fulfil a sizeable equipment order for delivery in the South West.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 16 August 2024 to Warehouse Express Ltd. The awarded value was £45,146.55 including the published currency of GBP. The contract period ran from 16 August 2024 to 6 September 2024. The submission deadline was 15 August 2024 at 12:00. Bath Spa University used a limited procedure described as a competitive quotation below the applicable threshold. The successful supplier was selected through that quotation process. The tender’s estimated value was also £45,146.55. The opportunity was treated as a single goods requirement, with no lot breakdown reported. The procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

Although this procurement has finished, it provides a useful indication of Bath Spa University’s demand for professional broadcast video equipment and the scale of order it has recently placed. A credible future competitor would need to supply broadcast cameras or comparable equipment, understand the requirements of a university or media-production environment, and deliver a complete order promptly to the South West. The winning supplier was a large business, and the procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so businesses of comparable scale may be better placed to compete. Suppliers should also be able to respond efficiently to competitive quotation exercises below the applicable threshold, present clear equipment and pricing information, and fulfil short institutional purchasing requirements.
