This tender falls under the goods procurement category and is in the planning stage. The equipment is related to battery electrode manufacturing and will be housed in a clean and dry room at the UKBIC facility in Coventry, United Kingdom. The future notice date for communication is set for January 16, 2023. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in manufacturing equipment for battery electrodes. Companies specializing in calendering systems suitable for clean room environments, with capabilities such as roll heating and meeting specific pressure requirements, are well-suited to compete. The equipment should offer modular solutions and potential for next-generation upgrades to align with electrode manufacturing advancements. Interested businesses can visit the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre's website for more information and to engage with the procurement process. ## 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 calender 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 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 | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025673-2022 | | 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 | 13 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 | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 42930000 - Centrifuges, calendering or vending machines ## Release History - 13 Sep 2022 at 13:50 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025673-2022 ## Notice URLs - https://www.ukbic.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
