The South Ayrshire Council has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of a Functional Family Therapy Service," which falls under the health and social work services category. This contract, identified as CE-28-25-B2, involved a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The primary location for service delivery is within the South Ayrshire region (UKM94). The contract was awarded on 29th January 2026 and was signed with Action for Children on 20th November 2025. The total contract value is GBP 589,253, and it is currently active, reflecting its significance in the health services sector.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly those capable of delivering family therapy services. With the procurement method being limited and involving complex social work classifications, enterprises with a focus on psychological and social support services would be well-suited to engage with such contracts. Furthermore, given that the contract has been awarded to a notable supplier like Action for Children, smaller SMEs and third sector organisations could strategize partnerships or subcontracting arrangements to benefit from expertise and service delivery in similar future opportunities.
