Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of First Aid Services for the International Ayr Show – Festival of Flight." This contract, categorized under general public services within the services sector, was specifically aimed at delivering first aid services. Located in Ayr, Scotland (region UKM94), the award was announced on 7th October 2025. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication due to a rationale that it fell outside the scope of the usual regulations. The tender process led to the award of the contract to the Scottish Ambulance Service, with the contract being signed on 1st September 2025 for a value of £32,583.03.

This contract presents unique opportunities for businesses primarily within the first aid and emergency services sector, particularly those capable of supporting large-scale public events like festivals and airshows. Businesses with expertise in providing rapid and efficient first aid services would find a competitive edge in similar future procurement activities. As the contract was awarded through a limited procedure, it is beneficial for businesses to establish connections with councils organising large public events, enhancing their potential for growth and presence in ongoing and future projects. Such tenders can also highlight the need for consortiums or joint ventures to support and accommodate large-scale service requirements efficiently.
