Vorgeschlagene EIB-Finanzierung (voraussichtlicher Betrag)

Up to GBP 50 million. (under an existing Education Framework Facility with Barclays Bank plc, London)

Gesamtkosten (voraussichtlicher Betrag)

Up to GBP 200 million.

Umweltaspekte

The project comprises the construction of new facilities for educational activities. Council Directive 97/11/EEC on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), as amended by 2003/35, does not specifically mention facilities for higher education, but these could in some circumstances be seen as urban development projects (thus falling under Annex II of the Directive).  The project by virtue of its nature, size or location, appears unlikely to have a significant effect on environment. The basis for requesting an EIA by the competent authorities, the local planning and approval process and actual/possible significant impacts on protected flora and fauna (Habitats’ and Birds’ Directives) will be verified during project appraisal.

Auftragsvergabe

Higher Education Institutions in the UK and Local Authorities are required by LSC to follow EU procurement guidelines. During appraisal, the EIB team will verify that the University follows EU procurement directives and publishes and tender projects according to generally established and internationally accepted procedures.
