Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council has completed the procurement process for the design, implementation, and delivery of STEM activities for the International Ayr Show - Festival of Flight 2025. Categorised under 'General public services' within the services industry, this contract centres around the locality of Ayr, Scotland (UKM94). The procurement was carried out using a limited procedure without prior publication due to the scope falling outside relevant regulations. The contract was awarded on 11 April 2025 to theSKYLAB, a small enterprise based in Kilmarnock.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in STEM education and event management. Companies with expertise in integrating STEM activities into public events, particularly those adaptable to aerospace themes, would be well-suited to compete and grow through similar contracts. The compact scale of theSKYLAB illustrates how small and medium-sized enterprises can secure high-value contracts (£31,800 GBP) by leveraging their niche capabilities and local presence.
