The National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) has awarded the contract for the build of its new flagship facility at the heart of the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District Scotland in Renfrewshire to Morrison Construction, part of the Galliford Try Group.
The contract, worth around £42 million, was awarded after the University of Strathclyde, as the operator of NMIS, approached the market with an Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) restricted tender process. The process saw the Scottish construction firm prove to be the most economically advantageous in terms of both cost and quality.
As part of the contract, Morrison Construction is committed to achieving the design team’s aspirations of the building being awarded BREEAM ‘outstanding’ for sustainability – the highest-accolade for sustainability in the UK construction industry.
