There is sometimes a concern that, if requirements are imposed for short distances along the processing chain, or if proof of Low Carbon Timber is required, too few bidders would be left and the contracting authority would not have sufficient choice. While it is generally the case that any specifying requirement in a tender potentially limits the number of bidders, there is little risk that this will lead to a disproportionate number of bids. In most cases, the production and processing structures are available to a sufficient extent to allow for appropriate labelling.
