Yorkshire print management firm Alistair McIntosh is the favourite to pick up a five-year print management contract for Bank of Scotland worth around 30m.
The deal will cover letterheads, envelopes and compliment slips, which Bank of Scotland manages in-house from sites in Edinburgh, Inverkeithing and Chester.
Details of the future of the 20 staff employed in those sites are being finalised.
Bank of Scotland said it was in "advance negotiations with one supplier" concerning a contract for "certain elements of our printing and stationery services".
"If things can be done for better value we will go down the outsourcing route," said a Bank of Scotland spokesman.
