## Summary

Scottish Enterprise procured banking services for its organisation and finance operations. The requirement supports continuity of critical banking services while Scottish Enterprise implements a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and completes wider organisational and systems transformation. Existing banking arrangements have operational and technical dependencies with the finance systems, so the service includes maintaining those arrangements during the transformation and ERP implementation period. The buyer is Scottish Enterprise, based in Glasgow, and delivery relates to Scotland. This is a services procurement for banking and associated finance-system support, classified under CPV 66110000 for banking services. The requirement is focused on continuity, operational stability and integration with Scottish Enterprise’s finance environment rather than introducing a new banking provider during the transformation programme.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Scottish Enterprise used a limited award 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 selected for the single lot. The contract is active, valued at £60,000, and was signed on 5 August 2026. The arrangement is intended to continue until December 2028. The procurement was treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No competitive evaluation basis or supplier eligibility requirements are stated. The outcome therefore reflects continuation of an existing banking arrangement rather than an open competition for a new provider.

For a supplier assessing future demand from Scottish Enterprise, this award demonstrates a requirement for dependable banking services linked closely to public-sector finance systems and major ERP change. A credible competitor would need to provide secure, resilient banking operations and manage technical integration with finance and enterprise systems without disrupting established services. Experience of service transition, systems transformation and continuity planning would be important, particularly where a buyer needs stability while its future requirements are being defined. The selected supplier is a large organisation, indicating that the requirement is suited to providers with substantial operational capacity, established banking infrastructure and the resources to support an organisation-wide transformation. Suppliers with public-sector banking experience and strong service-management capability would be well placed when comparable requirements return to the market.

## 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.
