UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council procured general banking services for its council operations. The requirement covers the provision of banking services, classified under CPV 66110000, and is a services contract rather than a goods supply or works project. Devon County Council is the buying organisation, based in Exeter, and the services are delivered for the council in Devon, South West England. The awarded requirement is a single general banking services package. It is relevant to banks and other financial services providers able to provide ongoing banking services to a UK local authority, particularly suppliers with the operational systems, governance and service capacity needed to support a council-wide banking relationship.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. Barclays Bank PLC received the award for the single lot, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 March 2028, with a maximum possible end date of 31 March 2030. Renewal is provided for as two additional 12-month periods. The contract value is £90,000 excluding VAT and £108,000 including VAT. The award was for banking services to Devon County Council. The procurement record does not set out a competitive evaluation, as the contract was awarded without competition.

This award is a clear indicator of Devon County Council’s demand for a continuing general banking relationship rather than a one-off financial product. The opportunity is commercially relevant to banks and financial services providers that can deliver a broad banking service to a local authority, support council operations reliably and maintain the systems and controls expected in public-sector finance. The selected supplier is a large banking organisation, indicating that scale and institutional capability are relevant characteristics for this requirement. Future competitors would need a credible public-sector banking proposition, dependable operational delivery, strong financial governance and the capacity to manage the council’s banking needs over a sustained relationship.
