## Summary

National Highways Limited has concluded the award stage of the procurement titled "SEDPS-NH-0020-Biodiversity Unit Feasibility 2025/26 - Lot 18". This contract, classified under environmental management, involves procuring feasibility studies for biodiversity enhancement projects across various regions, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and the UK. The process, a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, has an award value of £366,912.79 and will commence on 16 February 2026, concluding on 31 March 2028. The awarded supplier is the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in environmental management and monitoring services. Specifically, SMEs and VCSEs could benefit greatly from participating, especially those equipped to handle offsite enhancement projects aimed at achieving a 10% biodiversity net gain. Engaging in such projects can provide ample opportunities to showcase capability in biodiversity metrics and gain a foothold in one of the government's substantial environmental initiatives.

## Notice

National Highways is looking to procure feasibility studies for a total of 1,000 biodiversity units, covering both habitat and hedgerow units. The feasibility studies and their associated reports must be completed in financial year 25/26. These units will be acquired as offsite enhancements on behalf of Major Enhancement schemes to ensure they are able to achieve either 10% biodiversity net gain (of habitats and hedgerows) or to ensure these schemes are compliant with the Statutory Biodiversity Metric trading rules. These required units have been separated into the 18 Lots below. Lots 1 to 12 have been grouped into three groups based upon their specific geographic location. Lots 13 to 18 are regional Lots. The Supplier can apply to undertake feasibility studies for projects which would either fully or partially deliver the units in any lot(s)
