project_28710 - Bats in Churches 2020, Church Management Plan, Design and Implementation

The Authority is looking for Suppliers who will work closely with each of the 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 12 Lots, sorted by their relative proximity, Suppliers are invited to bid for each Lot. There is no limit on the number of Lots suppliers may bid for.
