The City of Edinburgh Council initiated a public procurement process for banking verification services, which has now reached the award stage. The contract, titled "Banking Verification," falls under the general public services category. Heywood Ltd. has been awarded the contract via an open procedure. This procurement process is catered towards the Integrated Service Providers (ISP) and Member Data Services Framework and covers verification of member bank account details. The contract, valued at £65,625, was signed on 11th December 2025 and pertains to the UKM75 region, specifically Edinburgh.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses specialising in service provision, particularly those with frameworks in verification services of financial data. Heywood Ltd., a large-scale company, successfully secured the contract, indicating a favourable environment for businesses with substantial resources and expertise in financial verification services. Organisations with experience in managing frameworks like the National LGPS Framework for Integrated Service Providers stand well-suited to compete in such tenders. The open procurement method suggests that the tender was accessible, allowing wide participation across eligible businesses within and potentially outside the EU. As only one electronic bid was received, this may highlight the competitive nature of the procurement process in this specialised sector.
