Fresh request miner made for things needed (12)

Ross

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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
