The University is renewing its contract for Cash in Transit Services utilising the NEUPC framework. The service will compromise of Cash Collection (Referred to as Service 1) from 8 locations on various dates & times.

Following collection of cash and cheques they are to be taken to a central cash centre, the location of which is dependent on the carrier.

Upon arrival at the cash centre UCLAN require the cash to be opened and counted, and the cheques sorted. From here the credits are to be passed through to the nominated UCLAN bank account(s) in a maximum of 3 working days. All collections are paid into the same account except the T2000 collection.

At peak times throughout the contract period the University may require to add or amend collections, as well as running multiple collections across campus therefore the supplier must be able to accommodate these requirements. Collection amendments for bank holidays including Christmas are provided on request and UCLAN would aim to give 7 days' notice where possible for any other amendments.

Where no collection for a particular site is required UCLAN would contact the carrier to advise them not to attend.

There is also an adhoc requirement for notes and coins to be delivered to the University therefore the supplier has to be able to offer this service (Referred to as Service 2). This service is required approx. 2-4 times per month to locations listed on the Cash Collection schedule document. This may fluctuate due to demand in peak periods (the figures are to be used as guidance only). UCLAN require the carrier to deliver notes within 24 hours and coins within 48 hours if requested before 12 noon.
