Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc (MSIP) – Procurement Hub partnership

Construction of the Innovation Parc gives the opportunity to secure jobs and the long-term future of the site, with a development that meets the future needs of Scotland and the world.

Working with MSIP and the consultant team, we will ensure the project is designed to cost and that maximum value for money is achieved across the entire project. 

Michelin Dundee has played a pivotal role in the region for years and we will contribute to this legacy through local supply chain employment and delivering the highest possible level of safety and quality. 

This valuable partnership is committed to working with stakeholders across the public sector and industry, to transform Dundee into a key location for an Innovation Parc focused on sustainable mobility and decarbonisation transition, and we’re proud of our important involvement. 

We started on site in June 2021 for Phase 1, the Incubator Building, which contains six high-specification new factory spaces for smaller tenants to develop and test proposals. 

The masterplan, designed by Holmes Miller, considers the entire 32-hectare site, ensuring it will be home to a dynamic campus dedicated to advanced manufacturing, research and innovation initiatives that drive sustainable mobility and decarbonisation. 

We have completed a number of projects as part of this wider redevelopment. This has included Fulhame Building which is an incubator for six small businesses; an Accelerator Lab for training students in renewable technologies; and three infrastructure projects focused on site-wide services installation and road developments.

We completed the final project with the MSIP Innovation Hub and Café in November 2023. This world-class facility features open-plan event and showcase spaces, co-working areas, meeting rooms and design labs. 

Ultimately the joint venture between Michelin, Dundee City Council and Scottish Enterprise fosters growth and diversity in Scotland's economy, creating a new legacy while tackling the global climate crisis.

Leaving a positive legacy in the areas we work is The Robertson Way. It’s something that we’re passionate about and we have shown this to be the case for many years.

An important part of this partnership with MSIP is our commitment to local community engagement throughout the project, which includes schools, colleges, universities, employability organisations and local charities.

This project has supported local businesses with 99.99 per cent of spend being with SMEs (small and medium sized enterprises) with more than 55 per cent of our spend has been with businesses based under 10 miles of our site.

This demonstrates that we are supporting smaller businesses locally which is benefiting the community of Dundee.
