## Summary

The University of the West of England is procuring a high-speed camera and associated accessories as goods for its activities. The buying organisation is based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol. The requirement is for specialist camera equipment rather than general photographic supplies, with the award classified under cameras. The procurement covers one requirement and was delivered for the university’s use in the United Kingdom. Businesses relevant to this type of work include manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist suppliers of high-speed imaging systems, together with firms able to supply compatible accessories and provide appropriate technical support. The requirement is therefore most suited to suppliers serving research, education, engineering, scientific or other professional users of high-speed camera technology.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 6 July 2026 and runs from 7 July 2026 to 8 July 2026. PHOTRON (EUROPE) LIMITED was awarded the single lot. The contract value is £20,800 excluding VAT, or £24,960 including VAT. The available outcome information identifies the purchase as goods and the procedure as a below-threshold award without competition; it does not set out a comparative evaluation basis. The contract remains recorded as active. This outcome shows a short, single-supplier purchase of specialist camera equipment by the University of the West of England, rather than a multi-lot or extended service arrangement.

This procurement indicates demand from the University of the West of England for high-speed imaging equipment and related accessories, supplied as a focused equipment purchase. Suppliers best placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns will have demonstrable expertise in high-speed cameras, access to suitable specialist products and the ability to supply compatible accessories as a complete package. Credibility would be strengthened by experience supporting universities, research teams, laboratories, engineering users or other technically demanding customers. Manufacturers and authorised specialist distributors may be well positioned, particularly where they can explain technical performance, compatibility, installation or user support clearly. Smaller specialist businesses can be relevant: the selected supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that this type of requirement is not necessarily limited to large corporations.
