Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council has completed the award stage of the procurement process for the provision of a Site Manager for the International Ayr Show – Festival of Flight. The procurement falls under the General public services industry category and is limited in method, as it did not require a prior call for competition. The contract, valued at £47,250, was signed on 2 April 2025. The procurement location is Ayr, Scotland (UKM94), and the primary service involves event management for the Ayr show.

This tender offers business growth opportunities for companies in the event management sector, particularly those specialized in managing large public events. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in event coordination can leverage this opportunity to establish or expand their presence in regional public service events. Cherry Blossom Events, an SME based in Gourock, Scotland, has been awarded the contract, demonstrating that SMEs are competitive contenders for such procurement processes managed by local authorities like South Ayrshire Council.
