Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Enterprise procured banking services for its organisational and systems transformation programme, including implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The requirement is intended to maintain critical banking operations and their technical and operational links with finance systems while the new ERP environment is established. It covers continued provision by a banking provider, supporting service continuity and reducing integration and implementation risk. The work is for Scottish Enterprise and is delivered in Scotland, with the buying organisation based in Glasgow. This is a services requirement, classified under CPV 66110000 for banking services. The procurement concerns one requirement rather than separate service packages, and is closely connected to the buyer’s finance operations, ERP integration and ongoing organisational change.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. There was one bid, submitted electronically, and Bank of Scotland was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and is active, with a value of £60,000 including the published currency. The stated arrangement is intended to continue until December 2028. Evaluation information records price as a 40-point criterion and project team structure and support as a 20-point quality criterion. The procurement was treated as outside the scope of the applicable directive and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The process therefore resulted in a direct continuation of the existing banking arrangement rather than a competitive open market exercise.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need to provide business banking services that can remain dependable during major finance-system change. Relevant capability includes integrating banking operations with enterprise resource planning and finance platforms, managing technical dependencies, and maintaining service continuity while systems are implemented and embedded. Suppliers should also be able to show a clear project team structure, strong ongoing support and the capacity to work closely with a large public-sector organisation during organisational transformation. Experience of protecting critical financial operations through migration or system change would be particularly relevant. The single bid and the emphasis on price, team structure and support indicate that a competitor would need both commercially competitive delivery and demonstrable implementation and account-management capability.

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.
