## Summary

The University of the West of England, a sub-central public authority based in Bristol, United Kingdom, recently completed a procurement process for the acquisition of an ATEX Spark Free Freezer. This procurement, categorised under goods, took place as a direct procurement method below the threshold and without competition. The contract was signed with Scientific Laboratory Supplies Limited on 24th April 2026, and the contract period spanned the 25th and 26th of April 2026. The freezer is intended for use at the University’s Frenchay Campus in the UKK12 region.

This procurement presents a clear opportunity for suppliers specialising in scientific laboratory equipment, particularly those capable of meeting niche safety and performance requirements such as ATEX compliance.

Such partnerships can enhance the supplier’s portfolio and pave the way for further collaborations in the public educational sector.
