## Summary

The Northern School of Art bought photographic equipment and associated items for teaching students. The purchase is for goods rather than a service or works contract. The awarded items are classified as photographic equipment, and delivery is specified in the North East of England. The buyer is The Northern School of Art, based in Middlesbrough. The requirement supports photography teaching at the school; the published description does not identify particular camera models, accessories or quantities, so the scope should be understood as photography equipment and related items rather than a defined product list.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to WAREHOUSE EXPRESS LIMITED, trading as Wex Photo Video, on 7 September 2026. The award value is £38,402.34 including VAT. The contract period runs from 7 October 2026 to 30 October 2026. There was one lot, covering the equipment requirement. The buyer used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. The procurement data does not set out a competitive evaluation or award basis; the supplier was selected through the non-competitive route. The award is active, with no indication that it was cancelled or that the contract was terminated.

For suppliers of photographic equipment, this award shows that The Northern School of Art buys photography equipment and related items to support student teaching, with delivery in the North East of England. A credible future supplier would need to offer a suitable range of photographic equipment and associated items, and be able to fulfil a school’s teaching requirement within a short delivery window. The buyer used a direct, non-competitive route for this purchase, so the award does not demonstrate how suppliers would be evaluated in an open competition. The selected supplier is an established photographic retail business. Suppliers serving education customers may find the buyer’s equipment requirement relevant where they can meet the practical needs of photography teaching.
