## Summary

The procurement process involved South Ayrshire Council, which undertook the award of a contract titled "Provision of Inter-Data Centre Connectivity" within the industry category of general public services. Based in Ayr, UKM94, the Council completed the procurement stage with an active contract effective from January 28, 2026, following the award on January 29, 2026.
