Description

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").

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.
