| Supplier note | Site already on the biodiversity gain sites register; allocation possible within 15 working days. | Lower headline price, but the spatial multiplier means more units are required to meet the same shortfall. | High-distinctiveness habitat; may exceed what the metric requires for this shortfall. | Phased availability may not suit a January 2027 discharge date. |

Verdaq standardises and presents supplier information so it can be compared on the same basis. We do not recommend, warrant or endorse any particular offer, and “Lowest” marks price only, not best value. You contract directly with the provider you choose.
The comparison becomes part of the record.
Who was approached, who responded, what each offered and why you chose one — captured alongside the documents above, so your planning team can see how the decision was made.
Because every supplier answers the structured brief you submitted, the differences you see here are real differences — not differences in how each one chose to present themselves.
