Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council, located in Ayr, has completed a procurement process for the "Supply & Delivery of Storage Containers for Event Kit," classified under the industry category of general public services. This award procedure was undertaken without prior publication of a call for competition due to its value being outside the regulatory scope. The procurement involves the delivery of goods, specifically storage containers, and the contract was signed on 15th January 2026. The main procurement was conducted through a limited method, with the entirety of the process culminating in the award of the contract to Containers Direct Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Liverpool. No call for competition was needed, indicating a direct award, and the contract is now active.

This tender offers opportunities for SMEs specialising in the supply of protective or storage equipment, particularly those capable of quick delivery and competitive pricing. Businesses that can efficiently manage logistics and maintain product quality standards could find such contracts beneficial for growth, especially within the public services sector. With an award value of £13,500, smaller enterprises can leverage this to build relationships with local authorities, establish themselves in the public procurement market, and potentially secure future contracts within this region or similar categories.
