## Summary

The University of the West of England bought a Canon printer fleet for staff use, specifically the IMAGEFORCE C5140 model. The requirement covers office printing and copying equipment, including photocopying and thermocopying equipment and office-type offset printing machinery. The buying organisation is based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol, and the equipment is for delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a goods requirement rather than a service or construction project. The procurement was structured as a single requirement and relates to the university’s staff printing provision. Businesses supplying commercial printer fleets, Canon equipment, office copiers or related institutional printing hardware would find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to CANON (UK) LIMITED. The university used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and ran from 21 July 2026 to 22 July 2026. Its value was £63,820.10 excluding VAT and £76,584.12 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The process covered one lot, which is complete. The purchasing decision was for goods: Canon IMAGEFORCE C5140 printer equipment for the staff fleet. The award route indicates that this purchase was made directly rather than through a competitive tender, so the result reflects a completed supplier selection rather than an invitation for further bids.

This award is useful market evidence for businesses supplying institutional printer fleets and office copying equipment to universities. A credible competitor would need to provide the specified Canon IMAGEFORCE C5140 model or an equivalent capability where the buyer permits alternatives, and demonstrate that it can support a staff-wide fleet requirement rather than isolated consumer or small-office sales. Relevant experience includes supplying photocopying, thermocopying and office printing machinery to public-sector or higher-education customers. Suppliers should also understand direct-award purchasing below threshold, including how to present a clear compliant offer when a buyer has a defined manufacturer and model requirement. Canon’s selection shows the buyer’s need for established equipment supply at institutional scale.
