Fresh request miner made for things needed (12)
I believe the answer is:
requirements
'for things needed' is the definition.
(things which are required)
'fresh request miner' is the wordplay.
'fresh' indicates an anagram.
'request'+'miner'='requestminer'
'requestminer' anagrammed gives 'REQUIREMENTS'.
'made' is the link.
(Other definitions for requirements that I've seen before include "Necessities" , "demands" .)
