## Summary

National Highways Limited is overseeing the procurement process for a project titled "SEDPS-NH-0020-Biodiversity Unit Feasibility 2025/26 - Lot 9," classified under the environmental management industry. The contract involves feasibility studies for biodiversity units across various locations, including the United Kingdom and other territories. The procurement follows a selective method via a dynamic purchasing system, with a completion date for feasibility studies set within the financial year 2025/26. The tender was awarded to The National Trust on 13th January 2026, with the contract period beginning on 16th February 2026 and ending on 31st March 2028, amounting to £133,722.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in environmental management and monitoring. Firms capable of undertaking detailed environmental feasibility studies on habitats and hedgerows stand to benefit. The selective procurement method implies that qualified small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) have a chance to compete in this specialised field. The project's capacity to drive biodiversity net gain enhances its appeal to environmentally-focused businesses looking to expand their portfolio with governmental contracts.

## 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)
