Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the University of the West of England, located in Bristol, involved the award of a contract for the supply of a Sony PXW-FX6 Cinema Line Camera. This procurement, titled "Sony Camera," falls under the 'goods' industry category, specifically classified as digital cameras. The process was carried out as a direct procurement method, below the threshold without competition. The procedure was completed with the contract signed on 18th June 2026.
