### Lot Information

Lot 1

A full open procurement for Mechanical Handling Equipment was run in August 2022 and awarded to Toyota in December 2022. Due to delays in the supply chain, estimated arrival time of the new lease equipment is April 2024 so the current contracts are required to be extended to cover this period.
