Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk Services Limited procured a weekly cash collection service. The work involves collecting cash from the organisation as part of its operational security and cash-handling arrangements. The buying organisation is East Suffolk Services Limited, a public authority company based in Woodbridge, Suffolk. The service falls within security services and is delivered for East Suffolk Services Limited in the East of England. This requirement is relevant to cash-in-transit operators, secure cash collection businesses and security service providers with the operational capability to collect cash regularly from a public-sector organisation and manage it securely through the required handling process.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and was not divided into competitive lots. G4S Cash Solutions (UK) Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and runs from 18 September 2026 to 17 September 2029. Its value is £24,500 excluding VAT and £29,400 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competitive assessment. The active contract covers the weekly cash collection service for East Suffolk Services Limited.

For competitors, this award provides a clear example of recurring demand from East Suffolk Services Limited for scheduled cash collection. A credible future supplier would need to provide reliable weekly collections, secure cash handling and the operational controls expected of a specialist security services provider. The scale is a regular, multi-year service rather than a one-off collection, so businesses would need dependable staffing, collection vehicles or equivalent arrangements, secure transfer and processing procedures, and the capacity to maintain service continuity throughout the contract. Providers already operating cash-in-transit or related security services are the closest fit, particularly those able to support public-sector clients with consistent, auditable collection arrangements.
