UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England bought Avid Pro Tools | MTRX Studio sound equipment for its operations in Bristol. The procurement covered goods rather than services or works, with delivery to the university’s UK location. The requirement was identified by reference to quote 342178 and concerned a specific professional audio product and associated studio equipment capability. The buyer is a public university based at Frenchay Campus, Coldharbour Lane, Bristol. This opportunity is therefore relevant to suppliers of professional audio, recording-studio and sound-production equipment, particularly businesses able to supply Avid Pro Tools and MTRX Studio products to higher-education customers. It is less relevant to general IT, facilities, consultancy or unrelated education-sector suppliers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct procedure below the relevant threshold, without competition. ACADEMIA LIMITED was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 10 June 2026 and runs from 11 June 2026 to 12 June 2026. Its value is £21,990 excluding VAT, or £26,388 including VAT. The contract is active. The procurement was evaluated as a purchase of goods and used a direct, below-threshold route rather than an open tender. The outcome shows a short-duration supply arrangement for a defined professional audio requirement, with one supplier appointed by the University of the West of England.

This procurement demonstrates that the University of the West of England buys specialist professional audio equipment for its Bristol operations, including Avid Pro Tools and MTRX Studio products. Suppliers best placed for comparable requirements would have direct access to the relevant manufacturer or distribution channel, reliable product knowledge and the ability to provide accurate quotations for clearly defined equipment. Experience supplying recording, broadcast, teaching or studio environments would help establish credibility, especially where compatibility and configuration matter. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that this type of requirement can suit a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor. Businesses should monitor this buyer’s future audio-equipment requirements and be prepared to respond through a direct quotation route.
