## Summary

South Ayrshire Council procured menu planning and nutritional analysis software as a services requirement. The system is intended to support menu planning and the nutritional analysis of menus, making this relevant to software suppliers with products for institutional catering, education, local government or other public-service food operations. The requirement covers a single software service and is associated with the council’s operations in Ayr and the surrounding South Ayrshire area. The council acted as both buyer and central purchasing body. The classification used for the requirement is CPV 55524000, covering meal-preparation services. The awarded supplier is Civica UK Limited, a large UK software and public-sector technology company.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. South Ayrshire Council used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, stating that the procurement value fell outside the scope of the regulations. Civica UK Limited was selected for the single requirement. The contract is active, is worth £28,750, and was signed on 26 August 2026. One bid was received, submitted electronically; it was not from an SME and was not from an EU or non-EU foreign bidder. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The requirement was evaluated through this limited route, with the published information identifying the procurement method and its rationale rather than setting out separate quality or price weightings.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist menu-planning and nutritional-analysis software within a Scottish local-authority setting. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would offer a proven software product that supports menu creation, nutritional assessment and the practical administration of institutional catering. Credibility would be strengthened by experience delivering technology to councils or other public-service organisations, an understanding of public-sector information governance and implementation, and the capacity to provide reliable support for operational users. The successful supplier was an established, large-scale UK technology business, indicating that buyers may value a supplier able to maintain and support a specialist system over its operating life. Smaller software firms could be relevant where they can evidence equivalent functionality, implementation capability and dependable customer service.
