## Summary

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) bought a range of filming equipment for use across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers goods including sound equipment, camera lenses and digital cameras, making this relevant to photographic, broadcast and professional audiovisual equipment suppliers, distributors and specialist resellers. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement for UKRI. The selected supplier, WAREHOUSE EXPRESS LIMITED trading as Wex Photo Video, is a large commercial supplier based in Norwich. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than separate specialist lots, and the equipment is intended for delivery in the UK. Businesses with a portfolio spanning cameras, lenses and sound equipment would be the closest commercial comparators for this requirement.

This procurement has been completed following a below-threshold limited competition, with the requirement awarded on 17 September 2026 to WAREHOUSE EXPRESS LIMITED trading as Wex Photo Video. The contract was signed on the same date and is active from 17 September 2026 to 16 September 2027. Its value is £37,565.25 excluding VAT, or £45,078.30 including VAT. The award covers the filming equipment requirement as a single completed lot. The procurement used a limited competition rather than an open procedure, and the published outcome identifies the successful supplier and the goods awarded. The contract is below the relevant threshold and is for the supply of goods, not installation, construction or a professional filming service.

For a supplier assessing future UKRI demand, this award indicates a modest, focused purchase of professional filming equipment rather than a major production-services contract. A credible competitor would need dependable access to digital cameras, camera lenses and sound equipment, with the ability to supply a mixed equipment order through a single commercial relationship. The selected supplier’s profile suggests that broad product range, established distribution and fulfilment capacity were important practical advantages. Suppliers with experience serving public-sector or other professional audiovisual customers would be well placed to demonstrate reliable sourcing, product knowledge, warranty support and delivery across the UK. Specialist camera retailers, broadcast equipment distributors and larger photographic suppliers could therefore use this requirement as a benchmark for future comparable UKRI purchasing.
