UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England bought the design and installation of internal and external signage for its estate. The requirement was a call-off from previous phases, focused on signage for D-block and external areas at EP1. The work covers both the production of signage as a physical good and its installation. The buying organisation is the University of the West of England, based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol. The relevant business category is signage supply, design and installation (CPV 34928470). This is a single requirement covering the stated phase of the university’s signage programme, rather than a broad signage framework. Suppliers serving university, education or other large estates would find the requirement most directly relevant.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The University of the West of England used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. DMA SIGNS LIMITED was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026, ran from 18 August 2026 to 19 August 2026, and has a value of £42,000 excluding VAT (£50,400 including VAT). The award is recorded as active and the contract is active, while the tender status is complete. The requirement was handled as one lot. The available record identifies the procurement route and the selected supplier, but gives no separate scoring or evaluation breakdown. The stated scope was delivery of signage design and installation for the specified university locations.

This award demonstrates demand from a higher-education estate for coordinated signage design, manufacture and installation, including both internal signs and external estate signage. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to manage the full service rather than supply signs alone: interpreting an existing signage programme, developing designs, producing physical signage and installing it on an operational university campus. Experience working across multiple buildings or phases would be relevant, particularly where internal areas and external locations must be delivered as part of one coordinated package. The successful supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that a specialist signage business with suitable delivery capacity can serve this buyer. Relevant evidence would include comparable estate or campus projects and reliable installation management.
