Procurement Information

FLS has a committed sales target which cannot be completed without this work being undertaken. The delivery of this requirement is beyond the production capacity of FLS's internal direct production and existing harvesting contract. The supplier being awarded this contract has capacity to carry out the work and can start in line with these timescales, and this represents the best option to allow FLS to increase production at short notice.
