UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England bought event services for additional staffing and décor supporting Bridgehouse graduation ceremonies. The requirement covers event-related staffing costs and decorative arrangements, with delivery in Bristol. The work is a short, event-specific service rather than construction, goods supply or a long-term operational service. It may suit event production companies, venue-support businesses, staffing providers and suppliers able to coordinate décor for graduation or similar formal institutional events. The named buyer is the University of the West of England, based at its Frenchay Campus in Bristol. The requirement was organised as a single service lot and delivered within the Bristol area.

This procurement has been awarded following a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The tender is complete and the contract is active. BMT ENTERPRISES LTD, a Bristol-based supplier, received the award for the event services requirement. The contract was signed on 25 June 2026 and ran from 26 to 27 June 2026. Its value was £35,837.29 excluding VAT, or £43,004.75 including VAT. The procurement related to one lot. The published outcome identifies the supplier and contract value, but does not set out a separate award date or detailed scoring basis. The requirement concerned additional staffing and décor for Bridgehouse July graduations in 2026.

This award shows that the University of the West of England purchases compact, event-specific packages combining staffing and décor for major graduation activity in Bristol. A credible competitor for comparable future requirements would need practical event-services capability, including the ability to supply and coordinate staff, arrange decorative elements and deliver reliably around fixed ceremonial events. Experience supporting graduations, conferences, performances or other formal venue-based occasions would be relevant, particularly where presentation, timing and guest-facing service matter. Suppliers should be able to manage the requirement as a joined-up service rather than offering décor or staffing in isolation. The incumbent is an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist event-services business can undertake this type of university requirement.
