## Summary

South Ayrshire Council has undertaken a procurement process under the title "CE-130-25-DA Appointment of a School Counsellor (Belmont Academy)" within the services category. This tender focused on appointing a school counsellor at Belmont Academy, based in Ayr, Scotland (region UKM94). The procurement utilized a limited method, bypassing the usual competitive call due to its scope being outside the regulations. Although the process is now complete with awards made, it represents an authoritative engagement by the Council in the education sector. Key dates include the contract signing on 16th September 2025. The council, located at County Buildings, Wellington Square, Ayr, is well-reputed for adhering to public service needs within the region.

This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), with Laura Kerr Psychotherapy and Counselling, an SME, securing the contract valued at £35,000. Such opportunities are ideal for local businesses that provide specialised services in counselling and mental health support for educational institutions. Companies seeking to grow through public sector partnerships would benefit from engaging in similar tenders, especially those that may lack rigorous competitive publication requirements, thereby increasing their chances of success in niche markets.
