Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Enterprise is procuring banking services to support its organisational and systems transformation, including implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The requirement covers continuity of critical banking arrangements and their operational and technical integration with finance systems, while the new ERP environment is established. The buyer is Scottish Enterprise, a regional economic development agency based in Glasgow, and the services are delivered in Scotland. The selected provider is Bank of Scotland. This is a financial services requirement rather than a general business support or consultancy contract: relevant suppliers are banks or banking groups able to provide integrated corporate banking, treasury management and remote banking services, with robust operational support and continuity arrangements.

The procurement has been awarded through a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, to maintain continuity during Scottish Enterprise’s ERP transformation. Bank of Scotland received two active awards relating to the single lot; each has a contract value of £60,000. Both contracts were signed on 5 August 2026 and have an active status. The intended contractual arrangements continue until December 2028. Evaluation criteria for the lot included project team structure and support, delivery of requirements, treasury management methodology, innovation and remote banking services, business continuity and disaster recovery, information security requirements, fair work practices and price. The published bid statistics record one bid, submitted electronically, with no SME bid recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from Scottish Enterprise for a banking provider that can maintain service continuity while supporting a major finance-systems transition. A credible future competitor would need corporate banking capability, experienced treasury management specialists and remote banking services that integrate reliably with finance and ERP platforms. Strong information security controls, business continuity and disaster recovery arrangements would be central to competing, alongside a capable project team able to manage implementation, support and operational dependencies. Suppliers should also be able to evidence delivery against detailed requirements, provide innovation where it improves banking services, and demonstrate fair work practices. The procurement route and single-bid outcome indicate that continuity, technical compatibility and low transition risk are particularly important to this buyer.

Notice Information

Notice Title

P27-0018 Scottish Enterprise Banking Services

Notice Description

Scottish Enterprise is currently undertaking a significant organisational and systems transformation programme, including the implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The existing banking services arrangements have important operational and technical dependencies with our finance systems, and introducing a new banking provider during this period would create additional implementation, integration and service continuity risks. To maintain stability and ensure the successful implementation and embedding of the ERP solution, Scottish Enterprise intends to continue its current contractual arrangements with Bank of Scotland plc until December 2028. This will provide continuity of critical banking services while future requirements are fully understood and the new ERP environment is established.
