## Summary

The University of the West of England, a public authority and sub-central government entity, located at Frenchay Campus in Bristol, has completed the procurement process for air source water heaters. The process, which began with a direct, below-threshold procurement method without competition, culminated in awarding the contract on 5 June 2026. The procurement specifically targeted the industry sector of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning installation works, with key activities taking place in the Bristol area (region UKK12). The legal basis for this procurement followed the regulations outlined in UKPGA 2023/54.

This procurement presents substantial business opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like AK PLUMBING, HEATING & ELECTRICAL SERVICES LIMITED, the successful supplier. This tender demonstrates the potential for SMEs to secure contracts directly with academic institutions for specialised works, without the traditional competition seen in larger tenders. Companies experienced in heating and installation services can significantly benefit from such government contracts, offering steady business growth, access to new projects, and reinforcing their reputations within public procurement markets.
