Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England is procuring Schleifenbauer PDU Red equipment, identified as GM EE29VMB1323. The requirement covers goods including cable distribution cabinets and switches, used as part of electrical power distribution infrastructure. The buyer is based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol. Delivery is within the United Kingdom. This is a focused equipment supply requirement rather than a wider installation, construction or consultancy service. It is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist electrical equipment suppliers that can provide Schleifenbauer PDU Red products, including cable distribution cabinets and switches, and support supply to a UK university customer. The procurement concerns one completed lot covering the stated equipment requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct procedure described as below threshold without competition. One supplier, ONNEC GROUP UK LIMITED, was selected for the completed lot. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 25 July 2026 to 26 July 2026. Its value is £42,287 excluding VAT and £50,744.40 including VAT. The award is recorded as active and the contract is active. The purchasing route was a direct award rather than an open competitive tender, so the opportunity was evaluated through that route. The requirement was treated as goods, with the scope covering cable distribution cabinets and switches associated with the Schleifenbauer PDU Red equipment.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from the University of the West of England for specialist electrical distribution equipment, purchased through a straightforward below-threshold route. Businesses well placed for a future requirement of this kind would include authorised Schleifenbauer distributors, electrical wholesalers and manufacturers able to supply PDU Red equipment, cable distribution cabinets and switches. Credibility would depend on access to genuine compatible products, reliable sourcing and fulfilment, and the ability to handle a focused university supply order without unnecessary delivery complexity. Suppliers should understand electrical power distribution equipment and be able to identify the correct product configuration from a concise equipment reference. Experience supplying public-sector or higher-education customers would also help demonstrate dependable ordering, documentation and delivery.
