Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council, chiefly responsible for the procurement process, sought to appoint a Food Village Manager for the International Ayr Show – Festival of Flight 2025. This services procurement, attributed to the industry category of general public services, took place in Ayr, located in the UKM94 region. The process reached the contract stage as of 26th August 2025. This tender followed a limited procurement method, whereby no prior publication of a call for competition was required, as it fell outside the regulatory application. The contract, valued at £8,000, was awarded to the supplier Chris Ruddy on 21st July 2025.

This tender presented an opportunity for businesses specialising in services around event management and food village operations, particularly benefiting SMEs due to the limited competition. With the procurement focusing on the local cultural and aviation-themed event, businesses in the hospitality, food services, and event management sectors could see an avenue for expansion within the regional public services market by engaging in such distinctive projects. Firms with expertise in collaborative public event management could leverage this opportunity to enhance their portfolio and networking within the intertwined spheres of public service and regional events.
