## Summary

South Ayrshire Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of an Evaluation Learning Partner valued at £31,605 GBP. The process falls within the "services" category under the industry classification code 80000000. The contract was awarded on 27 February 2026 to Manchester Metropolitan University, reflecting a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, as the contract value was outside the scope of regulatory application. The procurement process covers regions within UKM94, based in Ayrshire, Scotland, with the buyer's contact located at County Buildings, Wellington Square, Ayr, KA7 1DR.

This tender offers business opportunities, especially for organisations with expertise in educational evaluation and learning partnerships. Given South Ayrshire Council's interest in education-oriented services, businesses within the education sector with capabilities in providing comprehensive learning evaluations may find potential growth through partnerships in similar future contracts. Large-scale organisations, particularly those experienced in collaborating with local authorities on public service projects, would be well-suited to compete for such opportunities. Being involved in these tenders could allow businesses to expand their portfolio in public sector collaborations within the UK.
