## Summary

The University of the West of England has recently completed a public procurement process for a Plant Growth Chamber with humidity control and LED lighting, under the procurement method of 'direct' and classified as 'Below threshold - without competition'. The procurement process falls under the goods category, specifically targeting research and scientific equipment, aligning with CPV code 38970000. The contracting authority, based in Bristol, UK, has awarded the contract to PHC EUROPE B.V., located in Loughborough, UK, with the contract's start date being the 27th of January 2026 and an end date of the 28th of January 2026. Key dates include the contract signing on the 26th of January 2026, with completion shortly thereafter.

For businesses, this tender presents limited direct opportunities for growth given its nature as a 'below threshold' procurement method without competition. However, this type of provision can serve as a gateway for research equipment suppliers, notably those specialising in scientific and technical simulation apparatus, to establish or strengthen relationships with higher education institutions. Businesses with capabilities in supplying specialised scientific equipment and offering comprehensive warranty and service agreements would be well-suited to explore similar procurement opportunities in future, particularly where establishments like the University of the West of England are involved.
