We will require 1 tonne capacity bags containing 750kg of fertiliser for aerial application, and or 20/25kg bags of fertiliser for manual spreading. The call off requirement for order processing will be two types of order: a.

Renewal: The framework will be for an initial period of 36 months with the option of a 12 month extension at the FC's discretion.

NPK Fertiliser requirements to Newton Nursery

Newton Nursery uses various nutrient regimes to ensure that intensive nursery production systems can be maintained at the nursery without any long-term soil degradation occurring at the nursery. The two most important nutrient regimes in operation at the nursery both include the use of NPK fertilisers which also contain other trace elements such as Magnesium, Calcium and Sulphur. All products will be priced on a delivered rate at pallet quantity. The nursery only purchases fertilisers packed in 20/25kg bags and in pallet quantity, including delivery, once or twice per year.

Renewal: Framework for initial period of 36 months with the option of a 12 month extension.
