- Enquiry pathwayWhat to send so Ornatec can respond with availability, substitutions, route notes and risk advice.
Can Ornatec supply to KSA, UAE and Qatar?
Yes. Ornatec reviews destination import requirements, origin eligibility, stock preparation, route, timing and receiving-site conditions before confirming a supply pathway.
How early should Ornatec be involved?
Early is best, especially before a tender number, species package or planting programme is locked. Early review gives time to test source options, preparation windows, freight route, certification and substitutions.
What should I send with an enquiry?
Send destination, botanical names, quantities, size ranges, target delivery window, drawings, photos, project stage, substitution rules and any known import or site restrictions.
Can you support tender-stage work?
Yes. Tender support can include feasibility review, likely sourcing regions, preparation requirements, risk factors, substitution logic and the questions that should be clarified before award.
What happens after a schedule is sent?
The team reviews species, quantities, size expectations, origin options, destination rules, compliance, timing and obvious risk before responding with next steps.
