Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council bought services to provide Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) training for modern apprentices working in sport and active leisure. The requirement covers training delivery for apprentices associated with the council and is delivered in South Ayrshire, including the Ayr area. The buying organisation is South Ayrshire Council, which also acts as a central purchasing body. This is a specialist vocational education and workforce-development opportunity rather than the supply of equipment, construction work or general consultancy. Businesses whose core activity is delivering accredited vocational training, supporting apprentices and developing skills for sport, leisure and physical-activity roles are the closest fit. The procurement covered one requirement for this training service.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Angel Training. The contract is active and was signed on 18 August 2026, for £13,200. South Ayrshire Council used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Its stated rationale was that the procurement value fell outside the scope of the applicable regulations. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically by an SME; Angel Training was the selected supplier. The contract was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The procurement used one lot, covering SVQ training for sport and active leisure modern apprentices. No award date or contract end date is stated in the outcome, so the signed contract date is the relevant recorded timing for the award outcome.

For a supplier that did not win, this procurement is a clear example of South Ayrshire Council’s demand for focused apprenticeship training in sport and active leisure. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need the ability to deliver SVQ-level vocational training, support modern apprentices through their learning and assessment, and understand the occupational context of sport and active leisure. The winning supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was suitable for a specialist training business rather than only a large national provider. The single electronic bid and direct award route also indicate that a provider’s established relationship, relevant service fit and ability to respond through the council’s procurement process may be important when similar training is considered again.
