Barclays Bank Updated Information

Cash collection service

Barclays have negotiated a much better deal in light of feedback from Norfolkschools with G4S – cash collection service.

The changes are:

  • schools no longer require a collection once a week in term time but canreduce this to once a fortnight (19 collections a year minimum)
  • Schools wishing to take the cheapest option (courier can turn up at any timeof the day) the last pickup time has been reduced from 5PM to 3:30PM to fit inbetter with the school day

This results in a cost of £218.50 excluding VAT for the minimum contract.

Larger schools can purchase 5 extra cash bags at £5.50 per collection if the 2 clothbags provided are not sufficient.

Schools will need to complete the two schedules for this service along with the directdebit mandate (as per the link below) and return to: Louise Taylor Steward
