Coverage: 280 active published awards; 270 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Price reduction compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

    The Bat Advice Service will provide specialist advice, primarily to householders, through a telephone, email, and website service and, when necessary, through visits carried out by Natural England’s network of licensed Volunteer Bat Roost Visitors (VBRVs).<br/>The main purpose of visits is to protect bats by reassuring people affected (or distressed) by them, to advise on timing (avoidance) and methods for building maintenance works (such as timber treatment, replacement of missing roof slates/tiles but not development) and to reduce the likelihood of exclusions (and consequent threat to bat conservation and licence requirements). However, there will be a small number of cases where exclusion is justified, and a licensing route is available for these cases.

Procedure rationaleOnly supplier with technical resources to meet requirement. This is a continuation of a requirement that commenced more than ten years ago. An open procedure tender was used for this service in 2019 to test supplier market for alternative suppliers, despite 25 suppliers accessing the tender documents only one bid received, from same supplier to Natural England Bat Advice Service contract.
