## Summary

The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre is procuring Slitter Equipment for its Flexible Industrialisation Line project. The equipment will enable the processing of Anode and Cathode electrodes for battery production. This tender falls under the 'Goods' category in the industrial machinery sector. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with a contract signed on 18th December 2023.

This tender provides business growth opportunities for suppliers of slitting process equipment specialised in battery manufacturing. The UKBIC aims to enhance its electrode manufacturing processes and plans to scale up its operations significantly. Businesses with expertise in electrode manufacturing equipment and technologies compatible with battery industry advancements are well-suited to compete for this tender.

## Notice

Retender due to scope change Original notice number : 2022/S 000-035894 The UKBIC Flexible Industrialisation Line is designed to allow staged scale-up of electrode manufacture from laboratory scale through to GWh scale on UKBIC's existing high-volume electrode lines. The project will be phased and in the first phase equipment will be purchased to allow scale-up of electrode processes from the Flexible Industrialisation Line to UKBIC's high-volume electrode lines. This will incorporate mixing process compatible with UKBIC's mainline process and coating and drying equipment which will take batches of slurry and convert them onto anode and cathode foils. Subsequent equipment will incorporate next generation electrode manufacturing processes, so solutions covering both scenarios are encouraged. This new electrode capability will be supplemented by flexible equipment to Calender and slit the electrode reels allowing them to be converted into cells using the main UKBIC cylindrical and pouch cell assembly lines, or other flexible cell manufacturing equipment that may be installed during a later phase. Slitting process equipment is required to allow UKBIC to process Anode and Cathode electrodes from its own in-house Coating and Calendering processes or from third party material produced external to UKBIC. UKBIC currently has Slitting equipment in its Volume Industrialisation Line allowing for segregated Slitting of Anode and Cathode material however the size of the equipment is desired for Electrode Material at high levels of maturity and/or on a mass production scale. As a result, UKBIC is looking to install smaller equipment for customers at lower maturity level and allow for added flexibility and modularity as such that new/missing technologies from UKBICs Volume Industrialisation line can be used and proven. The Slitting equipment will be installed in a new internal Clean Room facility to UKBIC and should allow for futureproofing with the known assumption of battery industry evolution and changes.
