Description

Nottinghamshire County Council is seeking tenders, on behalf of Ashfield District Council (the Council) (ADC) , Ashfield District Council (ADC) has secured £21.5m from the Towns Fund programme to build the Automated Distribution & Manufacturing Centre (ADMC) on a green field site in Kirkby in Ashfield, near M1 junction 28 and opposite Sutton Parkway station. The ADMC will be the centrepiece of a dedicated Innovation and Technology Park. The 3,000 square metre building will become a centre of excellence for automation. It will support both the specialist manufacturing and distribution/fulfilment sectors, including small and medium sized enterprises. The building is estimated to be completed in March 2027. The primary research and development area is a single storey building, with loading docks and facilities suitable for locating and operating automation systems in a flexible manner. The remainder of the building houses a two-storey laboratory, training/conference area and an office complex along with an atrium for holding showcasing and other events. On the ground floor there is a designated lab and office for Nottingham Trent University which is a key partner in the project. The ADMC's vision is to be an independent centre where businesses can receive automation related support and advice to help them grow their businesses. The ADMC's mission is to work with businesses to create and implement bespoke automation strategies and solutions that improve productivity and enable prosperity and growth.
