Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process initiated by the University of the West of England involved organising a marquee for the Frenchay Campus, specifically for the hire, setup, maintenance, and breakdown during open/offer holder days. The buying organisation, located in Bristol, operates under the public authority of sub-central government. The process, classified within the services industry category, reached the 'Award' and 'Contract' stages by October 2025, with the contract period spanning from 26th to 27th July 2025. The award was made to Danco International Plc, a Bristol-based SME, under a procurement method categorised as 'Below threshold - unknown'.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity for companies offering event services, particularly those specialising in logistics and setup for educational institutions. The collaboration with an esteemed university could enhance the supplier's portfolio, offering exposure within the academic sector. SMES, like Danco International Plc, are particularly well-suited for such contracts, given their flexibility and focus on niche market needs, enabling them to effectively fulfil the bespoke requirements outlined by the educational sector. Businesses prepared to deliver time-sensitive and high-quality event services in the South West region of the UK would benefit greatly from engaging in similar procurement processes.
