Use the Internet Explorer COM object:

url = "http://www.hl.co.uk/shares/shares-search-results/a/aveva-group-plc-ordinary-3.555p"

Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.Visible = True
ie.Navigate url
While ie.ReadyState <> 4
  WScript.Sleep 100
Wend

MsgBox ie.document.getElementById("ls-bid-AVV-L").innerText

ie.Quit
