Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Offsite Delivery Provider

Published

Description

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) became mandatory from 12 February 2024 for major developments. This requires developments, unless exempt, to meet a minimum of 10% BNG. Where this cannot be achieved in full on-site the developer is required to find off-site solutions to achieve the target. As part of our corporate priority for a clean and green borough, the Council is seeking to work with a third party to secure (including liaising and negotiating with applicants on the sale of BNG units), register, implement, manage and monitor the Habitats Management and Monitoring Plans (HMMPs) which have been prepared for land within Oldham Council's ownership each for a minimum period of 30 years. This is a significant opportunity for a well-resourced, innovative, and ambitious third party who is a Responsible Body. The Council does not have the resources in place to carry out all the functions necessary to implement the HMMPs and therefore does not intend to set up a Special Purpose Vehicle to enter S106 agreements with ourselves and is not looking to lease land to a tenant. The Council is seeking to enter into an agreement with a third party who is a Responsible Body to secure and deliver conservation covenants on our behalf and so be able to offer BNG credits for sale to developers to secure investment in biodiversity on the council-owned sites. We are seeking feedback from the market to help us to understand its current level of maturity, level of interest in this opportunity, and to inform/shape our requirements for the BNG Offsite Delivery Provider in sufficient depth to take us to procurement/tender. We recognise that BNG Offsite Delivery is a new/emerging market area associated with recent legislative developments. Therefore, if you are, or are planning to be; a new entrant to the market, currently without a demonstrable track record in this specific area, but with relevant transferable knowledge, experience and expertise to meet requirements, we welcome your responses and suggestions. The market engagement pack contains full details and an appendix of questions for response by the market engagement deadline (Friday 15th March 2024 @ 12.00 noon). It is not possible at this stage for the Council to provide an indicative contract value for this opportunity, nor confirm whether the Council's requirement will be classified as a works or services contract or concession or otherwise, above or below threshold, nor what procurement procedure will be employed if the Council proceeds to procure. Subject to the market engagement findings, the Council hopes to proceed to tender for its requirements in April 2024. To access the market engagement documents please go to www.the-chest.org.uk.
