collaborative project with a major partner (Rolls

On the 15 April 2015, the University and The Manufacturing Technology Centre Limited entered into a

component volumes. An options appraisal has
concluded that a contract for services for the provision
of the technical staff resource required to support all
the research activities in the HTRC facility a period of ten (10) years is required, commencing 3 November 2024.
