This project, classified under building surveying services, seeks suppliers to closely collaborate with 35 churches across Midlands, Eastern, and Southern England to develop management plans addressing the ecological conflict between bats and church operations. The procurement process is at the active stage, with the tender period ending on 12th March 2020, and the contract period commencing on 1st May 2020 and concluding on 31st October 2023. This open tender allows suppliers to bid for any of the 12 Lots available, as grouped by geographical proximity, with no restriction on the number of Lots a supplier can apply for. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses in ecological consultancy, environmental management, and building surveying services, especially those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies equipped to conduct ecological and social surveys, engage with community councils, and devise ecologically responsible management solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete in this tender process. Engaging in this project not only supports environmental restoration efforts but also provides contractors with the chance to enhance their portfolio in a growing niche market related to heritage and ecological conservation. ## Notice The Authority is looking for Suppliers who will work closely with each of the churches to gather ecological and social information to help facilitate the planning and implementation of approaches to solving the conflict between bats and people at these most impacted churches. The work will involve significant time on site and will include meetings with Parochial Church Council (PCC) members, e.g. the Churchwardens and Church Architects. The supplier will use the ecological and social information they gather at the initial meetings and during ecological surveys to devise a range of options for reducing the impact of bats at the church. Parties will then choose the preferred approach to create a management plan. This will cover 35 Churches that have agreed to be part of this project, located within Midlands-Eastern-Southern England. These 35 have been grouped into 12 Lots, sorted by their relative proximity, Suppliers are invited to bid for each Lot. There is no limit on the number of Lots suppliers may bid for.
