In plain English
Durham County Council needs a cash collection and courier service. The contractor must securely collect cash and cheques from multiple collection points, store them safely, and deliver them to banks or other designated facilities, including overnight storage when needed.
What the buyer wants
• Securely collect cash and cheques from various locations specified by the Council • Transport and store cash and cheques safely in transit • Deliver collected money to banks, nominated cash receiving facilities, or other collection points as instructed • Provide secure overnight storage of cash and cheques when required • Offer a 'change float' service (supplying small cash amounts for making change) on a scheduled or ad-hoc basis
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This contract will almost certainly disqualify most small businesses: it requires specialist cash-in-transit licensing, secure vehicles, insurance, and proven experience handling large volumes of currency and cheques. This is a specialised security service, not a general trade.
