## Summary

South Ayrshire Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of a counselling service for justice within its jurisdiction (region UKM94). The contract, valued at £35,000, was awarded on 19th March 2025 to The Spark, a large-scale supplier based in Glasgow. The procurement method was limited, and the call for competition was not publicly published due to the specific legal rationale falling outside the scope of application of the regulations. The award marks the end of the procurement stage, with South Ayrshire Council acting as the buying organisation.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in counselling and support services, particularly those already registered as large entities capable of handling public contracts. Companies providing mental health services and counselling are well-suited to compete for such contracts, offering avenues for growth through public sector partnerships. The engagement with local authorities like South Ayrshire Council can help firms establish a footprint within the community service domain, fostering both societal impact and business expansion.
