Lot #1The Kent County Council (KCC) used a further-competition via ESPO Framework "324F_24"…Awarded

The Kent County Council (KCC) used a further-competition via ESPO Framework "324F_24" to invite all providers to participate in the Further Competition exercise.

All Service Providers on Lot 1 – "Cash/Valuables Collection and Civit Services from premises or buildings" of the Framework, were invited to submit a tender. All tenders received (that are compliant i.e. submitted in accordance with the tendering instructions) were evaluated in accordance with the advertised evaluation criteria as set out in the invitation to tender document.

This exercise was undertaken to satisfy the requirement for a total of 14 cash collections across 9 Kent LRA sites per month. Due to the rate at which banks are closing in local area, the KCC required a reliable service provider who could adapt to changes to the frequency and location of collections.
