Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council has completed a public procurement process for the "Development of a Micro-Enterprise Programme," classified under the services category (CPV code 79900000). The procurement was conducted using a limited method, with no prior publication of a call for competition due to its scope falling outside regular regulations. The process commenced with the tender stage and reached the award and contract stages. The contract, valued at £49,500, was signed on 8 August 2024, and the programme will be delivered in the Ayr region (UKM94). The award notice was published on 28 August 2024.

This procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in developing micro-enterprise programmes. Businesses capable of providing comprehensive support and development services to local micro-enterprises are well-positioned to compete for such contracts. South Ayrshire Council's emphasis on general public services, combined with the specific focus on micro-enterprises, suggests a favourable environment for SMEs looking to expand their footprint in local government service provision.
