Published requirement description

FLS is seeking experienced service providers for the provision of Low Loader Moves within forestry environments. To ensure the continuity of delivery for various operations within Land Management, Harvesting and Marketing, Civil Engineering and workshop repairs, we require our heavy plant machinery, grab tanks and site safes, etc., to be securely transported within and between sites. Heavy plant will consists of timber harvesters, timber forwarders, tractors and a drill rig to be moved within site; site to site; between regions; site to workshop and back, or external repair agencies as required. The work involves moving our equipment within forests environments, which includes driving fully loaded low loaders on long gravel forest roads. All suppliers’ drivers will need to be competent/trained in driving on Forest roads.

    Please refer to "FLS-0037-C Standard Statements" document within the PCS-tender project

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
  • “FLS-0037-C Low Loader Moves 2023” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
