South Ayrshire Council, in short
Who does South Ayrshire Council award contracts to?
Across 137 contracts recorded since 2021, South Ayrshire Council has used 176 different suppliers. The most frequent are ENABLE Scotland (5 contracts), Protector Insurance Ltd (5 contracts), Cairllum Care LTD (4 contracts).
What does South Ayrshire Council buy?
Its most active procurement categories are transport services, health and social care, education and training. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do South Ayrshire Council contracts come up for renewal?
No contracts awarded by South Ayrshire Council currently have a recorded end date within the next 18 months. Not every award notice publishes an end date, so this is a floor rather than a complete picture.
How much does South Ayrshire Council spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £360k, across the 137 contracts that state a value. Published values are not added up here: a framework's value is a ceiling shared by every supplier on it, and the same value is often repeated across lots, so adding them up would overstate what is spent.
How can I be alerted to new South Ayrshire Council tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new South Ayrshire Council notice against your organisation's profile, delivering the relevant ones before 9am alongside their contracts approaching renewal.

How these figures are worked out
- The last 12 months: award notices published from 8 November 2025 to 7 November 2026, each contract counted once however many suppliers or rows it has. The same window is used everywhere on this page.
- Year on year: Its published contract awards fell, then stayed broadly level in the last year. Contracts by publication date in the 12 months to 7 Nov 2026 and the two years before it, oldest first: 84, 40 and 36. A change of more than 15% counts as a rise or fall; each year needs at least 5 contracts.
- Has awarded contracts every year since 2021: At least one contract in every calendar year from 2021 to 2026, by award date (or publication date where the award date is later). Our records begin in 2021.
- Took on 39 new suppliers in the last 12 months: Suppliers named on a contract it awarded and published since 8 November 2025, and on none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Most recent award: recorded 5 Oct 2026 (4 weeks ago).
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
