UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England bought a Sony PXW-FX6 Cinema Line Camera, a professional digital cinema camera for its activities. This is a goods procurement rather than a service or works contract. The purchasing organisation is the University of the West of England, based at Frenchay Campus, Coldharbour Lane, Bristol. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement is narrowly focused on supplying a named Sony camera model, so it is most relevant to audiovisual equipment distributors, professional camera suppliers and specialist resellers able to source and supply Sony Cinema Line equipment. The purchase concerns the camera itself, rather than filming, production, installation, training or ongoing technical support.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The University of the West of England used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. PROACTIVE UK LIMITED was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 18 June 2026 and runs from 19 June 2026 to 20 June 2026. Its value is £32,322 excluding VAT and £38,786.40 including VAT. The award covers one lot and one digital camera. The contract is active. The recorded procurement route means the buyer made the purchase without inviting competing bids, rather than running an open tender or a restricted competition. The supplier is based in Hemel Hempstead.

This award demonstrates a university requirement for professional Sony Cinema Line camera equipment at a specialist audiovisual procurement scale. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would be able to source genuine Sony PXW-FX6 equipment, provide clear product specification and pricing, and fulfil a public-sector order accurately. Relevant businesses include professional video and broadcast equipment distributors, specialist audiovisual resellers and camera suppliers with dependable manufacturer or wholesale supply channels. The successful supplier is identified as an SME, showing that this type of purchase can be handled by a smaller specialist business. Competitors would need reliable fulfilment, public-sector sales capability and experience supplying technically specified equipment to a university buyer.
