## Summary

The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC) is undertaking a public procurement process to acquire a new pouch cell assembly line for its Flexible Pilot Line (FPL) facility in Coventry, England.

The procurement is at the tender stage, with the end date for the tender period set on 10th December 2024. The contract is valued at £1,300,000 and will run from 1st February 2025 to 31st July 2025. The procurement method is an open procedure above threshold.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the industrial machinery sector, particularly those specialising in battery technology and related equipment. SMEs are especially encouraged to participate, given the suitability criteria favouring such entities. Companies involved in manufacturing advanced electrode production equipment, as well as those with expertise in battery cell assembly, will find this tender particularly relevant. Winning this contract can facilitate business growth by providing access to high-value projects and enabling companies to demonstrate their capabilities in a burgeoning industry.

## Notice

UKBIC is actively developing a new Flexible Pilot Line (FPL) facility designed to meet the needs of customers who are not yet positioned to utilise the existing high-volume Industrial Scale-up Line (ISL). This cutting-edge FPL facility is being created with versatility in mind, enabling UKBIC to offer a valuable intermediary step for companies in the process of scaling up their battery manufacturing capabilities. The new FPL facility will feature advanced electrode production equipment, which includes processes such as mixing, coating, calendering, and slitting. Additionally, it will incorporate one or more dedicated cell assembly lines, providing a comprehensive solution for companies to develop and refine their battery technologies before moving to full-scale production on the ISL. This particular tender specifically addresses the procurement of a new pouch cell assembly line as part of the FPL facility. The addition of the pouch cell assembly line will significantly enhance UKBIC's ability to offer flexible production capabilities and meet the varied needs of its clients, supporting the UK's rapidly growing battery and electrification industries.
