### Lot Information

Lot 1

SASA is a Division of the Scottish Government Directorate for Agriculture, Food and Rural Communities. As the Certifying Authority it is responsible for the management and administration of the Seed Potato Classification Scheme (SPCS). Before seed potatoes can be marketed they must be inspected and their containers sealed with an official label that confirms the details of the potatoes and that they meet the required standards. Growers apply for the appropriate quantity of labels and these are printed at the Directorate's Area Offices located in Inverurie (Aberdeenshire), Perth and Inverness. At these offices the details of the seed potato consignment are printed onto the front of the labels using thermal transfer printers and then despatched to, or collected by, the grower. The work is seasonal and applications for labels are received between September and May. On a busy day Perth or Inverurie Area offices can print up to 80,000 labels. Please see Specification of Requirements for quantities and full required details of labels and printer consumables.. Suppliers will be asked to submit sample labels. The Specification of Requirements will give details of delivery address and cut-off date for delivery of these.

Renewal: 6 month optional extension period
