## Summary

The University of the West of England procured the Wycliffe boat fleet for delivery in the South West of England. The requirement comprised rowing boats, including single, double and quad sculls, together with oars and miscellaneous equipment such as a trailer and telemetry set. Although the procurement was categorised as services, the principal goods were rowing boats (CPV 34522600). The buyer was the University of the West of England, based at its Frenchay Campus in Bristol. The fleet requirement would suit businesses supplying rowing equipment and associated transport or telemetry items, particularly suppliers able to provide a combined package rather than a single boat or component.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Woodpark Limited on 14 July 2026. The award value was £82,650, and the contract ran from 15 July 2026 to 16 July 2026. The procurement used the method described as “Other - BVS”. The tender’s estimated value was also £82,650. The requirement was presented as a single procurement rather than separate lots, with a tender submission deadline of 14 July 2026 at 5pm. The award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published outcome therefore shows a completed purchase by the university from a named supplier, rather than an opportunity to submit a bid on this contract.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers of rowing fleets and related equipment seeking to understand the University of the West of England’s requirements. A credible future competitor would need to source or manufacture single, double and quad sculls, supply compatible oars, and coordinate ancillary items such as a trailer and telemetry set. The requirement favours a supplier able to assemble and deliver a complete fleet package, manage several product types in one engagement, and support delivery in the South West of England. Its stated SME suitability indicates that smaller specialist boatbuilders, rowing-equipment distributors or sports-equipment businesses with the necessary supply-chain capacity could be relevant competitors when comparable university requirements return.
