two.1.4) Short description
The Advanced Manufacturing and Innovation District Scotland (AMIDS) is situated in Renfrewshire and forms part of the Glasgow City Region. The AMIDS 52 Ha AMIDS core site is located adjacent to Glasgow International Airport with excellent rail and road connections, with further infrastructure investment currently underway in the surrounding area, including construction of the first ever opening road bridge over the River Clyde. AMIDS will be Scotland’s home for manufacturing innovation and has already attracted innovation and research facilities, with the Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre (MMIC) and National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) both recognising the opportunity. Construction of both NMIS and MMIC commenced on site in 2020, with both facilities aiming to be operational during 2022. It is currently anticipated that the land available as part of this procurement exercise will be in the region of 74 acres of land within the ownership of Renfrewshire Council (the "Council"). Planning permission in principle is in place, enabling a streamlined approach to future developments and de-risking the opportunity for potential investors.
In order to further the Council's aims, objectives and vision for AMIDS, the Council is seeking to procure an experienced private sector partner to form a long-term joint venture partnership with the Council in order to drive development of a 74 acre site at AMIDS and attract employers to the district. The Council is looking for the partner who is passionate about the opportunity AMIDS presents and who can bring their expertise to help identify and agree terms with suitable employers locating at AMIDS, finance and manage the development and delivery of user-specific buildings and manage the evolving district to ensure its quality and ambitions remain on target.
The Council's vision for AMIDS is that the development of AMIDS is designed to be an attractive, campus style business park setting for ambitious, manufacturing focused companies who will use best practice to ensure Scotland’s manufacturing sector can be competitive on an international stage. AMIDS will help make Renfrewshire an economic powerhouse within Scotland’s industrial heartland and will create wealth and opportunities for Renfrewshire, Glasgow City region and beyond. The design of AMIDS will encourage companies to collaborate with each other, tap into the expertise and knowledge base at some of Scotland’s leading education providers and create competitive advantage
The joint venture will enter into a Pre-Development Services Contract with the Council. This Agreement will set out the terms upon which the joint venture will supply the required services to the Council in order to develop and deliver Phase 1A, Phase 1 and the remainder of the development of AMIDS.
Background information on the Project has been provided by the Council at the Scotland's Green Investment Portfolio Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District (AMIDS) held by the Council on 20 January 2022 and a recording of that information session is available via the following link: https://youtu.be/qoH9tOnZ4bM
