Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council recently completed the procurement process for the provision of a Community Engagement Officer for the International Ayr Show – Festival of Flight 2025. The contracting authority is based in Ayr, Scotland, within the UKM94 region, and operates primarily within the public services, education, and construction sectors. This procurement process was managed through a limited procedure, where a direct award was made without prior publication, as it fell outside the typical regulatory scope. The procurement stage has transitioned from award to contract, with the contract signed on 14th May 2025. The total value of the contract is £48,000, and the main procurement category is services.

This procurement presents growth opportunities particularly for SMEs specialising in public engagement and event management services. The contract was awarded to "This is EventoS," a Glasgow-based SME, illustrating the potential for similarly-sized enterprises to secure contracts with local authorities. The specific nature of the work, centred around events and community engagement, means businesses that offer innovative solutions in event organisation and public communication have a significant competitive edge. Engaging with such public contracts allows businesses to enhance their portfolio and visibility within the public sector.
