### Lot Information

Lot 1

The scope of this contract is for consultancy services to support FLS with understanding the steps and processes required to deliver a coherent programme of operational activity in business planning, harvesting, and civil engineering programming.

### Procurement Information

Lack of capacity in the in-house team to undertake this urgent work, caused by competing demands of other business-critical activities needed to keep operational performance on track. While this work in itself is not an 'unforeseen urgency', what was unforeseen was the volume of different issues needing to be dealt with at the same time by a small team - this particular piece of work is the one that has been selected to be contracted out.
