Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM (THE) has recently awarded a contract for the supply of equipment for the precise manufacture of prototype-level pouch cells using next-generation battery technology. This procurement falls under the category of electrical machinery, with a total contract value of £27,675. The buying organisation is located in Nottingham, England, and the award was made following a direct procurement method, characterised by a single tender action below the threshold value. The contract period commenced on 25 March 2022 and was completed on the same day. The procurement process was finalised with the award notice published on 30 June 2022.

This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture of electrical machinery and equipment, particularly those supplying advanced battery technology and associated components. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-placed to compete due to the preferred supplier status of PIE-KEM LIMITED, the awarded supplier, which demonstrates the viability of smaller firms within this industry. Companies with expertise in precision equipment manufacturing may find this opportunity aligns well with their capabilities, potentially leading to partnerships or future contracts in this specialised market.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Equipment for the precise manufacture of prototype level pouch cells using next-generation battery technology.

Notice Description

There are only two suppliers for the manufacture of lab-scale prototype (PI-KEM and TMAX). I have obtained a quote from both companies (inc. shipping) for the necessary equipment which have been included in section 8. PI-KEM is a UK distributor (USA manufactured) whereas TMAX is a direct manufacturer based in China. Due to both the ease of procurement through a national agent plus the greater assurance of both delivery time and product quality through a trusted supplier, we would request dispensation for PI-KEM to ensure that project deliverables are achieved within the required timeframe.
