## Summary

South Ayrshire Council, based in Ayr, Scotland, has concluded a procurement process under reference CE-86-25-DA5, aiming to appoint a school counsellor for Belmont Academy. This project falls under the services category, specifically targeting the provision of counselling services. The procurement process reached the award stage, with the contract being signed on 16th September 2025. It was carried out using a limited procurement method due to its value falling outside standard regulation scopes. The awarded contract is valued at £35,000 and was allocated to Colin Thomson Counselling, a supplier based in East Kilbride.

This tender presents significant business growth potential for small to medium enterprises specialising in educational and counselling services. The award of this contract to an SME highlights the opportunities available for smaller, specialised businesses willing to engage in direct negotiations without a competitive tendering process. Businesses operating in similar service domains may find beneficial opportunities in public sector contracts within the local authority region of South Ayrshire and potentially broaden their reach and enhance their credibility by engaging in such procurement processes.
