Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was undertaken by South Ayrshire Council, located at County Buildings, Wellington Square, Ayr, under the title "CE-88-25-DA5 Appointment of a School Counsellor (Kyle Academy)". This procurement falls within the General public services category and is situated in the UKM94 region. The process has completed its award stage, with the contract being signed on 16th September 2025. It involved a limited procurement method due to the value being outside the scope of typical regulatory applications, with no prior publication of a call for competition. The overall contract value was £35,000, reflecting a focused service requirement within the local public services sector.

This tender offers business growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) particularly those providing counselling or educational support services. The awarded supplier, Kim Cleland, is an SME, indicating the process favours similar entities capable of delivering specialist services in educational environments. Businesses aiming to expand within the public sector, especially those in Scotland or nearby regions, can find interest in such opportunities. The focus on a single, localised award reflects a targeted opportunity for smaller businesses seeking to establish or enhance their foothold in local government contracts.
