The site has been earmarked as the location for the multi-million pound International Centre for Technology.A six-month period of detailed discussions has now been entered into between government and the MEF.
During this time there will be no discussions with any other perspective purchasers.
If a number of conditions are met the MEF will make the purchase and work will start on transforming the site.
