Summary of the contracting process

The tender for the "Provision of a Safety Manager for the International Ayr Show – Festival of Flight 2026" has been awarded to MSLG Safety Consultants Limited by South Ayrshire Council. This procurement process falls under the industry category of general public services, and it is located in Ayr, UKM94. The contracting authority, South Ayrshire Council, utilised a limited procurement method due to the contract's value being outside standard regulation scopes, and the award does not require publication of a competition call. The procurement process has reached the award stage with the contract being signed on 9th April 2026. The contract is valued at £37,000 for the provision of specialised safety services for the event.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for companies involved in safety consultancy and management, particularly those with expertise in large public events. Given the scope of the contract, SMEs like MSLG Safety Consultants Limited, which is based in Ayr, are well-positioned to compete in such specialised procurements. The procurement’s limited method suggests that businesses with niche skills and established reputations stand a greater chance of success, offering growth potential for consulting firms aiming to expand their portfolio with prominent public events.
