Bats in Churches 2020, Church Management Plan, Design and Implementation

Tender description

The Authority is looking for Suppliers who will work closely with each of 35 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 one of 12 Lots, with Churches within each Lot selected by their proximity (where appropriate). There is a separate invite to tender for each Lot (linked to ITT_6785) and tenderers must clearly indicate which Lot they are bidding for. Each Lot will be awarded to the most economically advantages tender. There are no limits to the number of Lots to which any one tenderer can be awarded. This invite to tender (ITT 6785) covers qualification questions only to confirm eligibility of bids for each of the 12 Lots. The 12 Lots are covered by ITTs 6787 to 6798 inclusive.
