Summary of the contracting process

The Highland Council, located at Glenurquhart Road, Inverness, United Kingdom, conducted a procurement process for Treasury Management Advisory Services, classified under the CPV code 66600000 for treasury services. This procurement activity, identified as HC/COR/TM/2025, involves the provision of advisory services over a three-year period, with an option for a one-year extension, delivered principally in Inverness. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, covered by the GPA, and tender submissions were accepted electronically via Public Contracts Scotland. Key dates included a tender closing on 7th November 2025, with the contract subsequently awarded to MUFG Corporate Markets on 23rd December 2025. The process has transitioned from the tender stage to the contract award stage, with a total contract value of £82,140. The award was finalised on the basis of a 70:30 quality to price evaluation criteria.

This contract provides a vital opportunity for businesses specialising in financial advisory and treasury management services, particularly those able to meet the stringent requirements stipulated by The Highland Council. It particularly favours entities authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the financial sector could find an advantage here, as demonstrated by the successful bid from MUFG Corporate Markets, which is an SME. Given the focus on both quality and competitive pricing in the award criteria, businesses with a strong proven track record and a robust financial standing, including necessary insurance coverage, would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders to expand their portfolio and drive growth.
