This significant project, with a budget of £80 million, is aimed at establishing a national facility located in Coventry, West Midlands. The competitive procedure with negotiation will allow interested vendors to submit proposals until the tender period closes on 11th March 2019. The contract will commence on 1st June 2019 and is expected to run until 31st May 2024. The classification for this procurement falls under software package and information systems. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those focused on ERP and MES technologies. Companies that can demonstrate flexibility and an ability to adapt to the evolving needs of UKBIC are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Given the comprehensive scope and the progressive nature of this project, IT firms, especially those with a track record in supporting large-scale industrial operations, will find this an advantageous prospect for engagement and growth in the UK’s innovative battery production sector. ## Notice A consortium of Coventry City Council, Coventry and Warwickshire local enterprise partnership, and Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), at the University of Warwick, has been awarded PS80 million, through a competition led by the advanced propulsion centre and supported by innovate UK, to establish a new National facility. The facility will be known as UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC). UKBIC is a completely new organisation, there is no existing infrastructure or software system(s) in place. It has been identified to enable UKBIC to function and deliver its intended activities, UKBIC will require a software solution(s) providing: 1. The functionality normally identified / related to that supplied by an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. 2. The functionality normally identified / related to that supplied by a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) / Factory Information System (FIS). The requirement is for a fit for purpose solution(s) in line that will cover the functionality required as per our outline specification. As UKBIC will be a new organisation, the expectation is that its operations / requirements may change over the term of contract and so the Authority is keen to establish a contract(s) for a solution(s) that are flexible, future proofed and facilitates change in the future as UKBIC evolves. The Authority expects as part of the implementation that further identification work will be required with the awarded Tenderer(s) as UKBIC grows and operational staff are employed by UKBIC. The identification work will involve working with operational staff at UKBIC to ensure the solution(s) incorporate day to day operations / processes as identified / finalised. The expectation is that the implementation will be a step by step process focusing on business areas / system modules and signing these off with approval before the entire solution(s) goes live. Further details on the functionality identified that we will require from a software solution(s) and UKBIC's operations can be found in the outline specification.
