FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT FOR THE PROVISION OF CASH IN TRANSIT SERVICES

Welcome to this Invitation to Tender (ITT) which is being managed by Wychavon District Council referred to as the "Lead Authority" in this ITT.

The Lead Authority along with a number of other Public Authorities wish to create a supplier framework for the Provision of Cash in Transit Services. That is the collection and delivery of cash, to and from Corporate Sites and Car Parks from which the Lead Authority and other Public Authorities (together the "Contracting Authorities" and each a "Contracting Authority") may procure services on a call-off basis.

Named Contracting authorities entitled to use this arrangement are: Bromsgrove District, Malvern Hills District, Redditch Borough, Worcester City, Wychavon District and Wyre Forest District Councils.

The Tender consists of 2 Lots:

Lot 1

Supply of cash in transit services to and from corporate sites

Lot 2

Supply of cash in transit services to and from car parks, including pay and display machines

Whilst we have divided the requirement into Lots, this does not preclude Tenderers from bidding for both lots, if they feel that they can adequately deliver the various services required.
