Yes, the grammar is correct. I cannot vouch for the truth of the statement, however.

I would write something like this:

However, they have requested that we deliver the goods to them.

"They request" sounds for me like they are requesting every time, but the sentence is about one specific situation. Do you agree ?

Yours is correct, too, but both refer in this context to the specific situation.
