South Ayrshire Council has completed the procurement of a Digital Asset Management Tool for Archives under the contract title CE-124-25-DA. This procurement, categorized within the general public services industry, was aimed at servicing the Ayr region (UKM94). The procurement was conducted through a limited procedure without prior publication, with the award process deemed to fall outside the scope of regulatory directives. The contract was signed on 20 January 2026 with an awarded value of £26,500 GBP. The contracting process has moved to the award stage, with documentation finalised and the service provision classified under CPV 72000000.
