Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England is procuring Motorola R7 FKP hand-portable radios, described under radio telephones and walkie-talkies. Avoira Limited was engaged to supply the equipment in line with its quotation. The buyer is the University of the West of England, based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol. The requirement is for goods rather than services or works, with the equipment associated with the university’s operations. The procurement concerns a single requirement and delivery within the United Kingdom. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are suppliers or distributors of Motorola R7 FKP hand-portable radios and related professional two-way radio equipment, particularly those able to provide the specified model rather than a general communications service.

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, under the relevant UK procurement legislation. Avoira Limited was awarded the requirement on 6 July 2026. The contract was signed on 6 July 2026 and runs from 7 July 2026 to 8 July 2026. Its value is £38,235 excluding VAT, or £45,882 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published process records one completed lot. The award covers the supply of the specified Motorola R7 FKP hand-portable radios, with the purchase made against the supplier’s quotation rather than through a competitive evaluation of bids.

This procurement indicates a defined requirement at the University of the West of England for professional Motorola R7 FKP hand-portable radios, rather than an open-ended communications service. A credible future competitor would need to source and supply the exact specified equipment, provide a clear quotation, and demonstrate that it can fulfil a focused goods requirement for a higher-education buyer. Suppliers with established access to Motorola equipment, reliable distribution arrangements and experience supplying business or public-sector radio users would be well placed to assess similar requirements. The direct-award route also shows that the buyer may purchase below-threshold radio equipment through a quotation-led process, making product availability, pricing and straightforward fulfilment commercially important.
