Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by the University of the West of England involved the installation of audiovisual (AV) systems in teaching rooms. The contract was awarded under a direct procurement method, specifically below the threshold without competition. It fell within the works category and pertained to television aerial installation work, focusing on the industry category related to AV installation. The project took place in Bristol, within the South West region of the United Kingdom. Key dates include the signing of the contract on 6th November 2025, with the procurement stages moving from tender initiation to completion by 8th November 2025. The process reflects a complete status, with an official notice dated 2nd December 2025.

This tender presents opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) skilled in AV system installation to engage with public sector organisations like universities. The lack of competition, due to the direct procurement method, suggests that businesses with established relationships or reputations in the university sector might find similar opportunities fruitful. Additional classifications under CPV suggest tailored expertise in television aerial installation work could enhance eligibility for such contracts. Organisations like GVAV LIMITED, a supplier with experience in this field, could leverage this kind of project to further strengthen their foothold within the educational industry.
