Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Procurement and Property Directorate (SPPD) is currently in the planning stage to replace its Banking Services Framework, which is set to expire on 31 July 2026. This procurement process is facilitated by the Scottish Government, acting as the central purchasing body. As part of this process, SPPD is seeking input from potential suppliers to shape the procurement strategy. The service category is banking services, and participants must submit their responses by 5pm on 5 September 2025. The procurement is happening in the UK, specifically within the region coded as UKM, and falls under the CPV code 66110000. A future notice regarding this tender is anticipated on 23 February 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the banking sector to align with Scottish Public Bodies' procurement needs, which are substantial, estimated at a value of £3,000,000. As the framework comprises various services such as bank accounts, foreign currency handling, and electronic banking, businesses with comprehensive banking solutions are well-suited to compete. This engagement, though currently non-competitive, allows potential suppliers to influence the strategy, which could benefit firms aiming to expand their presence in public sector financial services. Engaging in this preliminary phase could position businesses advantageously for the formal procurement stages ahead.
