For example, where the bidder identifies as a consortium the Council will require that the consortium, as a group, can meet the financial selection requirements contained in the procurement documents. Where a bidder is part of a Consortium, it shall procure the execution and delivery to the Employer of a Consortium Guarantee (in the form provided by the council) executed by each member of the Consortium (acting as Consortium guarantor) in Self Proving Form.

The Council will further reserve the right to remove any economic operator from the tendering process where they are no longer able to fulfil any of the selection requirements as directed within the procurement documents.

Forestry and Land Scotland have appointed a Framework Agreement for the Supply of galvanised storage and lifting crates for the transportation of tree seedilngs following the redevelopment project at our Newton Nursery, Elgin.
 Newton Nursery was established by the Forestry Commission in 1931, and it has not seen significant investment since the early 1980s, when the facilities were developed to service a growing programme of three (3) to four (4) million trees per year.
 The annual requirement has doubled since then, and will need to double again in the coming years. The redevelopment project is seeking to utilise innovative technology alongside developing the physical estate to meet these needs, now and into the future.
 Part of the redevelopment is the construction of a new state-of-the-art 12,000m2 Glasshouse, which will be around the size of two (2) football pitches and capable of growing up to nineteen (19) million trees per year. This modern addition will revolutionise our approach by providing a controlled environment to nurture our seedlings. By shielding them from invasive weeds and curious critters, the Authority anticipate a significant boost in our germination success rate, aiming to achieve an impressive 80% germination rate for our seeds.
 Now that the redevelopment is complete, Newton could have up to twenty-five (25) million trees growing on site in any one year, a significant increase from the seven (7) million trees FLS are currently able to produce.
