Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England, located in Bristol, has recently completed a procurement process for the replacement of a High Risk Acid Scrubber Fume Cupboard situated within their Frenchay Campus. The contract was awarded on 8th January 2026, with active status following completion. This procurement falls under the goods category according to its classification, with Leap Geebee Edtech Private Limited, a large business based in Singapore, serving as the supplier. The procurement was conducted through a direct method under the "below threshold - without competition" process, indicating a streamlined approach without competitive tendering. This process is relevant to regions in the United Kingdom, particularly targeting the university's specifications for scientific equipment.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in laboratory and scientific equipment, particularly those who can offer expedited delivery and installation of high-tech solutions. Although the contract has been awarded, similar opportunities may arise where companies well-versed in manufacturing fume cupboards or related apparatus can find growth potential. Large-scale suppliers and technology firms with capabilities in high-risk scientific installations would be particularly well-suited to compete in future tender opportunities from institutions like the University of the West of England, given the streamlined procurement methods that bypass lengthy competition phases.
