Switched accounts. Who needs to know?

I have just switched our current account. All went smoothly, bonus received. There seems to be conflicting info on who needs to be told.
I thought the switching procedure took care of all regular payments in and out, DD and SO but among the instructions our new bank provided it said we should inform our pension providers. Is that correct?
Also we receive quarterly FIT payments from Scottish Power, and dividend payments from a share holding. Should I contact them?

Although it is supposed to sort itself without any actions from your side, it's always a good idea to inform anyone who sends you regular payments. Belts & braces.2

I would be primarily concerned with credits; these will be redirected automatically.
Check your Direct Debits are setup but those who want money from you will in touch if they have issues.1
