## Summary

South Ayrshire Council recently concluded the procurement process for the provision of a flight simulator for the International Ayr Show – Festival of Flight 2025. The procurement, classified under the industry category of general public services, specifically education and construction works, took place in Ayr, UK, under the procurement stage of 'award' and 'contract'. The Council acted as the central purchasing body and executed a limited procurement method without prior publication due to the procurement being outside the application scope of the Regulations. The contract, referenced as CE-64-25-DA2, was signed with Caithness Leisure on 31st March 2025 and has an active status.

This opportunity opens avenues for businesses in the niche market of simulators and flight-related equipment, especially those capable of offering specialised goods to regional or local government projects. Given that Caithness Leisure, an SME based in Glasgow, secured the contract, it suggests that small to medium enterprises with expertise in leisure and educational equipment could effectively compete. Businesses within or near the UK regions could leverage similar procurements to enhance their portfolios and extend their market reach within public sector opportunities.
