Summary of the contracting process

The contract process for the provision of insolvency services to the Accountant in Bankruptcy (AiB) has been awarded as of 10 November 2025. This follows the completion of a 30-day standstill period after a Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency (VEAT) notice was published on 2 October 2025. The awarded contracts will cover various regions, including North Eastern Scotland, Highlands & Islands, and parts of Eastern and South Western Scotland. The process involved a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure that did not include prior competition calls, justified under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. This award stage marks the finalisation of the procurement, with contracts signed for delivery to specified locations across Scotland.

The insolvency services tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in accounting and insolvency support, particularly those with capabilities to administer sequestration cases. The identified suppliers, Dunedin Advisory Limited and Wylie Bisset, exemplify small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) well-suited to the scale and specialised nature of this work. Companies with expertise in delivering regulated insolvency services aligned with Scottish legislation, and capable of maintaining high-quality standards with competitive pricing, are ideal candidates for this framework. Such opportunities can provide significant market leverage and business expansion throughout Scotland, benefiting from a stable governmental contract framework.
