## Summary

The University of the West of England commissioned ARC systems support services for its operations in Bristol. The requirement is classified as systems support services (CPV 72253200), placing it within IT support and the maintenance of a specific organisational systems environment rather than general hardware supply or construction. The buyer is the University of the West of England, based at Frenchay Campus, Bristol. The service covers support for ARC systems, with the procurement record describing the requirement as “ARC Systems Support”. Delivery is in the UK, with the award linked to the buyer’s South West location. This is a service contract for a specialist technology supplier, rather than a purchase of goods or a works project.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold direct procedure without competition. ARC-UK Technologies Limited was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The award is active and was made on 23 July 2026. The contract runs from 2 August 2026 to 1 August 2027 and is active. Its value is £46,995 excluding VAT, or £56,394 including VAT. The tender description states that the support is required until 1 August 2027. The contracting authority is the University of the West of England. This outcome records a direct award rather than an open tender, so the opportunity is evidence of an established buyer-supplier arrangement rather than an invitation for further bids.

For suppliers that did not win this contract, the requirement indicates demand from the University of the West of England for ongoing specialist support to ARC systems. A credible competitor would need demonstrable capability in systems support, the technical knowledge to maintain and resolve issues in the relevant ARC environment, and the capacity to provide reliable service to a university client in Bristol. The successful supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that this requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large systems integrator. Businesses with a comparable support record, suitable technical resources and a clear understanding of university operational requirements would be best placed to assess similar work from this buyer.
