The process followed an open procedure under the services category, with the contract now in the award stage and valued at approximately GBP 2,092,000. Key dates include the contract signing on 25th April 2025, following the tendering period that ended on 23rd January 2025.
These services aim to deliver early intervention and advocate for children and young people, and will be provided in regions such as Maybole, Girvan, and South Ayrshire, aligning with the needs identified by South Ayrshire Council.
