## Summary

South Ayrshire Council procured aviation insurance services for the Ayr Show. The requirement covers insurance for aviation-related risks associated with the event, delivered in Ayr. It was a single service requirement managed by the council as the buying organisation. The procurement was classified under aviation and transport insurance services (CPV 66510000). This opportunity is relevant to insurers, aviation insurance brokers, underwriting managers and specialist risk providers able to assess and cover the liabilities associated with an aviation event. Suppliers focused solely on general commercial, property or routine public liability insurance are less closely aligned with the requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. South Ayrshire Council used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, stating that the procurement value fell outside the scope of the applicable regulations. There was one bid, submitted electronically, and one supplier was selected for the single lot. Global Aeorspace Underwriting Managers Ltd received the award. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 for £36,400. The published process records the requirement as complete. Evaluation was therefore conducted through the council’s direct limited award route rather than an open competition, with the stated regulatory-scope rationale determining the procedure.

For insurers and specialist intermediaries, this award is evidence that South Ayrshire Council purchases discrete aviation cover for the Ayr Show rather than only standard event insurance. A credible future competitor would need aviation underwriting expertise, the ability to assess event-specific aircraft and operational risks, and access to suitable insurance capacity and reinsurance arrangements. Providers should also be able to structure policy cover around a public event, understand the liabilities created by aviation activity, and work efficiently with a local authority. The single electronic bid and award to a large specialist underwriting manager indicate that focused aviation capability and a proportionate, responsive route to placing cover are relevant commercial strengths.
