Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council procured cash-in-transit services across Northumberland. The requirement covers collecting, sorting, storing and depositing cash, bulk coin, cheques and postal orders from various council sites. This is a combined secure cash-handling, banking and security service, with road transport forming part of the delivery. The buying organisation is Northumberland County Council, based at County Hall in Morpeth, and the services are delivered at council locations throughout Northumberland. The procurement is classified as services, including road transport services (CPV 60100000), banking services and security services. It is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist security, cash-management, secure logistics and financial-service providers with the operational coverage to serve multiple sites.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Northumberland County Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender was due to close at 12:00 on 31 July 2026, and the award was made on 27 July 2026. Security Plus Ltd was selected for an awarded value of £720,000. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender recorded an estimated value of £72,000, so businesses should distinguish this estimate from the awarded value. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process; the available record does not set out separate quality, price or technical weightings. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a substantial, multi-site requirement for secure handling of mixed cash and negotiable instruments by a local authority. A credible competitor for comparable work would need dependable cash-in-transit operations, secure collection and storage arrangements, robust sorting and deposit processes, and the ability to manage cash, bulk coin, cheques and postal orders accurately. Coverage across Northumberland and coordination of collections from various public-sector sites would be important, alongside strong security controls, trained staff, reliable vehicles and clear chain-of-custody procedures. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that a specialist smaller business can deliver this type of council requirement through a framework call-off route.
