UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England is buying wide-format printing paper under a call-off arrangement. The requirement is for paper supplies rather than printing, installation or associated services, with the goods classified as printing paper. The buyer is a public university based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol. The selected supplier, Antalis Limited, is a large paper and materials business based in Coalville. The arrangement supports the university’s ongoing need for wide-format paper for its activities. It is a goods procurement, with the supply associated with the university’s Bristol operation and serving its internal requirements.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded directly to Antalis Limited without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The award was made on 3 August 2026, and the contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £35,000 excluding VAT and £42,000 including VAT. The contract covers one completed lot for the purchase of wide-format paper. The award is active and the contract is active. The evaluation outcome was therefore based on a direct below-threshold route rather than a competitive assessment of bids.

This procurement indicates established demand at the University of the West of England for dependable supplies of wide-format printing paper over a sustained call-off period. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be paper distributors or manufacturers able to source and supply wide-format printing paper consistently, manage repeat orders and support reliable delivery to a university customer in Bristol. Antalis Limited’s selection shows that a sizeable, established supplier can serve this requirement, although the procurement does not publish technical paper specifications, brand requirements or service standards. Credibility would therefore depend on demonstrable product availability, distribution capacity and experience supplying institutional customers.
