The equipment is intended for the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre in Coventry, United Kingdom. The procurement is at the planning stage with the future notice date set for January 16, 2023. The main procurement category is goods within the electrical machinery industry. This tender for Slitter Equipment at UKBIC presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in manufacturing and supplying equipment for battery electrode production. Companies with expertise in precision engineering and cleanroom technology would be well-suited to compete for this tender. The procurement method is a tender, offering a chance for businesses to provide innovative solutions for battery manufacturing processes. The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre, a public body, is seeking vendors to supply a flexible Slitting system meeting specific technical requirements outlined in the tender description. ## Notice UKBIC has a requirement to purchase a range of equipment relating to the manufacture of battery electrodes to establish a Flexible Industrialisation Line (FIL) at the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre. The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC) is part of the UK Government's Faraday Battery Challenge. UKBIC is a national battery manufacturing development facility helping to scale-up battery manufacturing and facilitate upskilling in the battery sector. We are a publicly funded, open access facility, funded by the Faraday Battery Challenge at UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). This PIN lists the general requirements for anode and cathode slitting equipment to be housed in a clean and dry room for a battery electrode Flexible Industrialisation Line (FIL) at UKBIC ### Lot Information Lot 1 Vendors are invited to submit a bid to provide a flexible Slitting system to fit into a clean and dryroom. This system would need to be representative and scale-able to a larger system * Slitting machine needs to be capable of slitting all common li-ion electrode thicknesses. * Machines in the range of 320mm to 640mm foil width will be considered. Minimum slit width down to 50mm. * Trim edges down to 10mm, with collection of trim for disposal. Maximum of 8 slit widths. * The slitting width accuracy must be better than +/- 0.2 mm. * The slitter must collect the dust parts from slitting the coated foil. * The slitter will be operated in a clean and dry environment. Equipment to be capable of operating in a -70degC dewpoint environment. * Please provide previous experience history of slitting li-ion or other electrodes. One Slitting machine must be procured - if budget allows, a second Slitting machine may be procured to separate anode and cathode Slitting process to avoid cross-contamination. The tenderer is encouraged to provide a quotation to suggest what savings could be made if a second slitter was ordered at the same time as the first. The equipment must offer modular solution, so equipment can be easily reconfigured or decommissioned in the future. Bidders are encouraged to offer alternate slitting systems applicable to battery electrodes e.g laser slitting. All equipment to provide UKCA conformity. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025175-2022 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Sep 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 16 Jan 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | 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 | TLG3 West Midlands | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting ### Codes - 31000000 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting ## Release History - 8 Sep 2022 at 07:15 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025175-2022 ## Notice URLs - https://www.ukbic.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
