## Summary

Homes England, using the name adopted by the Homes and Communities Agency, commissioned a bat hop-over survey for HLR. The requirement is a site inspection and survey focused on bats and bat movement across or around the relevant development area. It is classified as architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, although the procurement category is recorded as works. Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. The buying organisation is based in Birmingham. The requirement is suited to small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation is not identified as being reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. Businesses with experience in ecological field surveys, bat activity assessment and reporting for development or construction projects would find the subject matter most relevant, particularly where they can undertake site-based inspection work and provide clear technical findings to a public-sector client.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to WSP UK Limited on 11 August 2026. The awarded value is £19,540. The contract period runs from 23 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. The tender record describes the requirement as a direct award, but records the procurement method as an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 10 August 2026 at 12:00. The award was active when recorded. The opportunity was evaluated within a single requirement rather than being divided into separately described lots. Homes England is the buyer, and WSP UK Limited is the selected supplier. The stated subject is a bat hop-over survey for HLR, delivered in England, with the procurement classified under inspection and related engineering services.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from Homes England for focused bat survey work connected with development or construction activity. A credible competitor would need practical ecological survey capability, staff able to carry out bat-related site inspections, and the technical ability to interpret observations and produce a professional report suitable for a public-sector land and housing organisation. Experience working around development sites, understanding survey constraints, and presenting concise evidence-based findings would strengthen a future response. The requirement is small-business compatible and is sufficiently focused for specialist ecological consultancies or environmental practices rather than only large multidisciplinary engineering firms. Businesses should align their service offer closely with bat hop-over surveys and demonstrate relevant delivery experience for comparable public-sector or construction clients.
