It was announced last year that Newcastle-upon-Tyne was to create the best and most advanced Science City in Europe. Plans are now underway to secure the best people for the job in creating this  huge hub of scientific activity through tendering. 

The tenders process has begun to find businesses that will make the dream of Science City a reality. On the 19 acre plot of land set aside for the project, it is hoped that thousands of new jobs will be created in research institutes, learning facilities linked to the local universities, specialist business support groups for science focused businesses and state of the art facilities for start up science companies. There are also plans for living and entertainment spaces within the complex to really create a focal point for what is already quite a strong science community in the North East of England. 

Tenders are being selected for all kinds of contracts on this project, with new tenders becoming available as the work progresses and the specialist skills required change focus. To find out more information about Science City, visit the Newcastle Science City website.
