UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid Devon District Council procured a cash collection and processing service for money deposited in pay-and-display machines at the council’s car parks. The requirement covers removing cash from parking machines and processing the collected funds for the council. It is a specialist cash-in-transit and cash-handling service, classified under security services. The work supports the council’s parking operation in Mid Devon, with the buying organisation based at Phoenix House in Tiverton. This opportunity is relevant to businesses providing secure cash collection, cash processing, security logistics or related services for local-authority parking estates. Suppliers would need to operate across the council’s car-park network and handle cash securely from collection through to processing.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded directly without competition because it was below the applicable threshold. One lot was awarded to G4S Cash Solutions (UK) Limited. The award is active and the contract was signed on 31 March 2026. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. Its value is £37,000 excluding VAT, or £44,400 including VAT. The award date is not separately stated. The evaluation was therefore not based on a competitive tender or published scoring criteria; the council used a below-threshold direct award route. The arrangement covers the single requirement for collecting and processing cash from pay-and-display machines in Mid Devon District Council car parks.

This procurement shows established demand from Mid Devon District Council for secure cash collection and processing linked to pay-and-display parking. A future competitor would need credible capability in cash-in-transit operations, secure removal of money from machines, controlled transport, cash counting and processing, reconciliation and reliable transfer of funds to a public-sector customer. Experience serving car-park operators or local authorities would help demonstrate understanding of dispersed collection points, access arrangements, collection schedules and audit requirements. Businesses should also be able to evidence robust security controls, trained personnel, secure vehicles and premises, business continuity and clear accountability for cash from collection through processing. The successful supplier was a large specialist security-services company, indicating the importance of operational capacity and established cash-handling infrastructure.
