## Summary

The Defra Network eTendering Portal is currently managing a public procurement process titled "Bats In Churches - Engagement Specialist." This initiative falls under the environmental protection category and is based in Peterborough, England. The tender process is at the award stage, with the contract valued at £20,700 for the delivery phase, which is expected to begin on 10 July 2017 and conclude on 28 February 2018. The tender period closed on 23 June 2017, and the contract aims to facilitate audience engagement and development plans for a Heritage Lottery Funded project.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental services, particularly those involved in public engagement and consultancy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary or community sector enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-positioned to compete, leveraging their expertise in audience identification and engagement strategies to help shape a Conservation Action Plan. As this is an open procurement process, interested providers can still explore similar projects through the Defra portal for future opportunities.

## Notice

This procurement is one of a number in the Bats in Churches HLF Project being run with a Partnership of 5 organisation of which Natural England are the lead body. The Partnership is looking for a public engagement specialist(s) to assist project staff and the project steering group with audience identification, access, learning activity and engagement planning for the development phase of this project. The main outcome of this Contract is to enable the delivery phase bid to be submitted in March 2018 (round 2). The geographically dispersed nature of the Bats in Churches project, with multiple churches, means a traditional HLF Heritage Grant round 2 application would not best fit the needs of the project. The round 2 application will therefore more closely resemble a modified LCAP (Landscape Conservation Action Plan) format. The final format of the round 2 application (currently referred to as a Conservation Action Plan or CAP) has been drafted but is yet to be finalised. The appointed supplier will be expected to use their experience to help shape the structure of the CAP. Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses e-tendering, provided by Bravosolutions. In order to access the Bravo system you will need to be registered.
