    "description": "PIN to Suppliers Upcoming Tender FLS-0036-C Thank you for your interest in working with FLS. I would like to provide some information on an upcoming tender process for Mechanised Ground Preparation. FLS intend to run an open tender process for these services, which will cover a majority of the same types of requirements as were tendered for in C0203, published by FLS last year. Please note that the new tender will not include the South of Scotland (Dumfries & Borders, and Galloway), which was successfully tendered under C0203. FLS have recognised and acknowledged several issues that occurred with last year's tender process. We have taken on board feedback from the market and have proceeded to make appropriate changes to several areas of the process, including the lotting structure and evaluation criteria in order to improve the tender process, as well as the overall experience of submitting a bid. We are planning to work to the following timeline, so please check your inbox and PCS account regularly to ensure that you don't miss out on any opportunities. The project will be titled \"Mechanised Ground Operations,\" and the reference is FLS-0036-C. (Please note that FLS are unable to issue individual notification that the tender is live. This will be advertised only on the PCS portal). Publication Late February / early March 2023 Tender Deadline April 2023 Tender Award Results May 2023 Contract Start Date 1st August 2023 Current Contracts For the suppliers currently working under the agreements, where there is a business need, FLS shall be extending the current agreements to provide contract coverage until the tendering process has been completed.
