## Summary

Stirling Council, a regional authority in Scotland, has concluded a procurement process for the provision of work placements, with the contract awarded to Gateway Shared Services. The procurement, identified as "SC2526-0215," falls under the general public services category. This process, finalised on 21st July 2026, used a direct award method without prior publication, compliant with regulations permitting public sector direct awards. The initiative is designed to serve the Stirling region (UKM77), with a contract value of £160,000.
