Description

The services required will be split into four (4) Lots:

Lot 1 (Containerised Gassing Unit (CGU) services, including the Supply of Gasses and Poultry Catching Services)

Lot 2 (Poultry Catching Services)

Lot 3 (Supply of Gasses for Containerised Gassing Units (CGUs)

Lot 4 (Whole House Gassing (WHG) services)

Suppliers will be expected to be at a readiness level that will enable them to respond and deploy to emergency situations within six (6) to twelve (12) hours of a request being raised, including weekends and public holidays.
