Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England has completed a procurement process for the installation of a new lift control panel at Bower Ashton, following a lift breakdown. This contract falls under the industry category of works, specifically "Lift installation work," and is situated within Bristol, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was direct, conducted below threshold without a competitive tender process. The contracting process reached the award stage on 2nd April 2026, with the contract being active from 3rd April to 4th April 2026. The University, a public authority sub-central government entity, partnered with the supplier A W PARRY LIFTS LIMITED, a small to medium enterprise based in Bristol.

This tender presents significant opportunities for similar businesses specialising in lift installation work, particularly those looking to engage with public sector projects. Despite being a direct procurement without competition, understanding such purchasing behaviours can aid small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in positioning themselves for non-competitive contracts. Enterprises situated in or near Bristol, especially those offering specialised lift installation services, may explore similar opportunities by building relationships with local educational institutions like the University of the West of England.
