Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council, acting as the buying organisation, has completed a procurement process titled "Provision of the Connect South Ayrshire Service" under the health and social work services category. The procurement took place in the Ayr region (UKM94), with the award phase concluded on 24th November 2025. The procedure followed was a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at £635,754.6 GBP, was signed on 20th November 2025 and has been awarded to Voluntary Action South Ayrshire, an SME located in Ayr.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those based in regional areas like South Ayrshire, to expand their service offerings. As the procurement method was limited, this process could favour organisations with pre-established relationships or those who can swiftly respond to managed competitions. SMEs in the service sector stand to gain by showcasing their specialised, community-focused solutions and leveraging any existing partnerships with local authorities. The successful bidder is a local SME, indicating potential for similar businesses to compete effectively in this procurement landscape.
