Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council has awarded a contract for the Provision of a Transformation Partner, within the industry category of General Public Services. The contract was concluded in Ayr, specifically within the region UKM94, and was awarded to Ernst & Young LLP on 3rd March 2025. The procurement stage is now complete, with the entire process having been conducted through a limited procurement method, without prior publication of a call for competition, under the Management Consultancy Framework Three (MCF3) RM6187. The contract value is £99,600 GBP.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in management consultancy, particularly those with experience in providing transformative services. Large consultancy firms, such as Ernst & Young LLP, would be well-suited for such a project due to their resources and expertise. Smaller consultancy practices or new entrants could find similar opportunities advantageous for boosting their growth and securing long-term governmental contracts. The award shows a preference for established players, yet it signals the potential for developing strong partnerships with public sector bodies like South Ayrshire Council.
