## Summary

The procurement process led by South Ayrshire Council, based in Ayr, focused on the appointment of a school counsellor for Carrick Academy. Categorised under services and specifically identified by the CPV code 85312320, this contract was awarded through a limited procurement method, indicating no prior publication was needed due to regulatory scope considerations. The award stage was completed with the signing of the contract on 8th July 2026. South Ayrshire Council, functioning as both a buyer and a central purchasing body, facilitated the transaction, ensuring alignment with local requirements in Ayr, region UKM94. The procurement's total value was settled at £28,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational and counselling services, particularly small to medium enterprises (SMEs), as demonstrated by the successful bid from KG Counselling, a local SME based in Ayr. The absence of foreign bids suggests a focus on domestic expertise, providing a competitive edge for local suppliers. Businesses in the counselling sector can leverage such opportunities to expand their service footprints within regional educational institutions, enhancing their credentials and local community engagement. The straightforward procurement approach, organised without a call for competition, may appeal to smaller firms seeking less elaborate entry points into public sector contracts.
