## Summary

Scottish Enterprise procured banking services to support its organisational and systems transformation, including implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The requirement covers continuation of critical banking arrangements that are operationally and technically connected to Scottish Enterprise’s finance systems. Maintaining the existing service is intended to avoid disruption while the ERP solution is implemented and embedded, and while the organisation develops a clearer understanding of its future banking requirements. The services are delivered for Scottish Enterprise in Scotland. The buying organisation is Scottish Enterprise, a regional economic development agency based in Glasgow. The procurement concerns banking services rather than general financial consultancy, software supply or construction work, and is closely linked to finance-system integration and operational service continuity.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Scottish Enterprise used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, with the stated rationale that changing banking provider during the ERP transformation would create implementation, integration and service-continuity risks. Bank of Scotland was awarded the banking-services requirement. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and is valued at £60,000. The existing contractual arrangements are intended to continue until December 2028. There is one requirement and no options are recorded. The award is active and the contract is active. This outcome reflects a direct continuation of existing arrangements rather than an open competition for a new banking provider.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates Scottish Enterprise’s demand for banking services that operate reliably alongside corporate finance systems during major ERP change. A credible future competitor would need established banking capability, strong service continuity controls and the technical capacity to integrate with enterprise finance and ERP environments. Experience of managing operational dependencies, supporting implementation and embedding activity, and reducing transition risk would be particularly relevant. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that they can maintain critical banking services while requirements evolve, work with a public-sector economic development organisation, and provide a stable service over a defined contract term. The buyer’s decision also indicates that continuity and implementation risk can outweigh the immediate introduction of a new provider.

## Notice

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.
