An overview of actions and objectives for the year ahead.
Core objective 3: AiB building space
In 2024-25, AiB identified a new co-tenant and began working with the Scottish Government Estates team to establish formal co-tenancy arrangements.
Corporate risks
Shared impact services
From 1 January 2026, the new co-tenant will occupy a full wing of the AiB building. This change will have financial and resourcing implications, particularly around shared services such as the mailroom and IT.
Budgeting requirements
A comprehensive review is required to determine which services and processes will be shared and to establish appropriate contractual arrangements to manage them effectively.
Space constraints
Co-tenancy will reduce available space for AiB staff, including access to shared meeting rooms, communal areas, and parking facilities.
Organisational opportunity
AiB has the opportunity to optimise co-tenancy in the building by:
- collaborating with the new tenant to define shared service requirements
- ensuring AiB’s existing functions and resources can support these requirements
- Identifying and mitigating any potential impact on overall service delivery
2025-26 targets
- work closely with the new co-tenant to understand their current and anticipated requirements – identify where shared service will bring best value
- assess the co-tenant's IT requirements to assess whether AiB will manage links to the SCOTS network and provide IT support
- develop a full cost framework that balances rental income balanced with shared service expectation
- examine existing current related contracts for the building and services, finding mutual agreement on cleaning, building access and maintenance, car park, security, fire safety etc
- update AiB’s emergency and business continuity requirements in line with new co-tenants
- confirm the expected mail volumes of new co-tenants prior to implementing new digital mailroom processes and make any necessary arrangements to absorb higher volumes of mail
