This tender falls under the Machines and apparatus with individual functions industry category. The engagement end date for this tender is set for 7th November 2022. This procurement process presents an opportunity for businesses to bid for providing a flexible calendering system meeting specific requirements. Businesses involved in manufacturing machines and apparatus with individual functions, particularly those capable of calendering processes, would be suitably positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice Vendors will invited to submit a bid to provide a flexible calendering system to fit into a clean and dry room. This system would need to be representative and scale-able to a larger system The calendering process of the anode and cathode materials to calendering the coated foil is uncoiled, compressed by one or more roller pairs, and then rewound. * Machines in the range of 320mm to 640mm foil width will be considered * Machines of maximum calendering pressure of ranges from 1400N/mm full width to 2750 N/mm full width will be considered * The machine will have the ability to heat the rolls * Solutions to heat the web/foil pre- and post calendering * The calender machine will be installed in a dry and clean room down -70degC dewpoint * This system would need to be representative and scale-able to a larger system. One calendering machine must be procured - if budget allows, a second calendering machine may be procured to separate anode and cathode calendering process to avoid cross-contamination. The tenderer is encouraged to provide a quotation to suggest what savings could be made if a second calender was ordered at the same time as the first. The equipment must offer a modular solution, so equipment can be easily reconfigured or decommissioned in the future. Bidders are encouraged to offer any next generation calendering processes upgrades or techniques as applicable to electrode manufacture. All equipment to provide UKCA conformity. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/95253a5a-b845-4ec2-a8f3-1e8ee4630359 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Sep 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 7 Nov 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,200,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UK BATTERY INDUSTRIALISATION CENTRE | | Locality | COVENTRY | | Post town | Coventry | | Postcode | CV8 3AL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG1 Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire | | ITL 3 | TLG13 Warwickshire CC | | Local authority | Warwick | | Electoral ward | Cubbington & Leek Wootton | | Westminster constituency | Kenilworth and Southam | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting ### Codes - 31640000 - Machines and apparatus with individual functions ## Release History - 28 Sep 2022 at 09:55 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/95253a5a-b845-4ec2-a8f3-1e8ee4630359 - 13 Sep 2022 at 13:56 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/80b217a4-96e8-4d68-9a5b-68e1554f5872 - 13 Sep 2022 at 13:56 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/181c2724-3fde-4efd-a590-e6b974073f24 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/95253a5a-b845-4ec2-a8f3-1e8ee4630359 28th September 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/80b217a4-96e8-4d68-9a5b-68e1554f5872 13th September 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/181c2724-3fde-4efd-a590-e6b974073f24 13th September 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.ukbic.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
