Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England, based in Bristol, conducted a procurement process titled "Replacement of High Risk Acid Scrubber Fume Cupboard" with a focus on the goods industry category. The procurement related to a fume cupboard and was specifically positioned for installation at the Frenchay Campus. This process has reached the award stage, and the contract was signed with Bristol Fan Co Ltd on 30th January 2026, with the contract activities scheduled between 31st January 2026 and 1st February 2026. The procurement method used was direct procurement, indicative of a decision to engage suppliers without competitive tendering for contracts below certain financial thresholds.
