Summary of the contracting process

West Lothian Council has completed a public procurement process titled "Cash Collection Services" within the industry category of General Public Services. The council, based in Livingston (UKM78), required secure collection and deposit services for cash and valuables across various locations, including schools, partnership centres, libraries, social work departments, and the civic centre. This procurement, related to a direct award from the ESPO Framework 324F 24, concluded with Security Plus + Limited being awarded the contract valued at £80,000 on 7 April 2025.
