## Summary

The procurement process undertaken by South Ayrshire Council involves the provision of a Flight Simulator for the International Ayr Show - Festival of Flight 2026. This contract, categorised under general public services and housing and community amenities, focuses on services for the local area of Ayr, UKM94, with completion status. The procurement method employed was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by its scope being outside regulatory application. The contract was awarded to JHG Simulators, signed on 16 February 2025, and although its financial value registers as nominal, it is tagged as both award and contract stage, underlining its formal completion.

This tender presents opportunities for business growth for companies specialising in simulations and aviation-related services, particularly SMEs looking to penetrate the niche market within entertainment and technology for public shows. JHG Simulators, classified as an SME, exemplifies the type of business ideally positioned to benefit from this procurement, having seized the opportunity to supply equipment for a significant local event. For similar businesses aiming to expand their presence in regional events, engaging in supplies for local councils or festivals can establish reputation and afford entry into robust, albeit specialised, sectors.
