Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council has completed a limited procurement process to award a contract for the provision of a flight simulator for the International Ayr Show - Festival of Flight 2024. The procurement falls under the industry category of general public services and will primarily take place in Ayr, Scotland (UKM94). This procurement involved an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified as being outside the scope of standard regulations.
