Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Provision of a Chewing Gum Task Force Project" was conducted by South Ayrshire Council, located in Ayr, UK. This project falls under the industry category of general public services, specifically services, with delivery anticipated within the UKM94 region. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract being awarded to Eco Removal Systems for a value of £27,492.18. The process utilised a limited procurement method, with no prior publication of a call for competition, as it fell outside the standard regulatory requirements. The contract was formally signed on 8th July 2025, and it advanced directly to the award stage without a competitive tender.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in public service maintenance, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Eco Removal Systems. The project focuses on creating a specialised task force for chewing gum removal, which can lead to business expansion in the niche sector of urban cleaning and environmental services. Companies that offer innovative, specialised cleaning solutions or have a proven track record in similar small-scale, high-focus projects would find this contract environment conducive for growth, particularly within local government and public service frameworks.
