two.2.4) Description of the procurement
This project, the Enterprise Engineering and Optics Centre (EEOC), is a key project to be delivered as part of the North Wales Growth Deal (now Ambition North Wales). The aim of the North Wales Growth Deal is to build a more vibrant, sustainable, and resilient economy in North Wales, building on our strengths to boost productivity while tackling long-term challenges and economic barriers to delivering inclusive growth. It involves a new purpose-built engineering building of approximately 2,187M2 to be constructed at the Wrexham Plas Coch campus of the University.
The Growth Deal is a partnership between the public sector and the private sector, supported by funding from UK Government and Welsh Government. The UK Government and Welsh Government are investing GBP240million into the North Wales Growth Deal over the next 15 years. The Growth Deal is seeking to deliver a total investment of up to 1.1bn GBP in the North Wales economy (240m GBPfrom the Growth Deal), to create 3,400 – 4,200 net additional jobs and generate 2.0- 2.4 billion GBP in net additional GVA.
