Summary sheet
University of Edinburgh
Capital investment programme dedicated to the development and refurbishment of elements of the University of Edinburgh’s estate in Edinburgh.
The aim of the project is to improve efficiency, both functional and energy efficiency, by re-locating activities from different sites. Installation of a new cogeneration plant will cut CO2 emissions, and thus help the University of Edinburgh to meet its institutional climate change targets.
The project concerns teaching and research activities that will be carried out mainly within existing university facilities. An EIA is therefore not required in accordance with the EIA Directive 85/337, amended by 97/11 and by 2003/35/EC. However, as parts of the investment cover the construction of new facilities and therefore may be covered by Annex II of the Directive in relation to urban development. The Bank’s services will verify during appraisal whether an EIA is required for any component of the project.
The promoter is required to respect national and European procurement legislation. The Bank requires the promoter to ensure that all relevant contracts for the implementation of the project have been tendered, or will be tendered, in accordance with the relevant EU procurement legislation. The procurement issues will be studied during appraisal.
