## Summary

The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre is seeking bids for a "Cell Assembly Enabler" project. This project aims to enhance battery manufacturing capabilities by investing in additional cell assembly lines. The tender includes two lots: "Tab-less Cylindrical Cell" and "Prismatic Cell." The deadline for submissions is 18th December 2023. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the UKBIC is the buying organisation in Coventry, UK, under the services category.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the research and development sector to engage with the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre. Companies able to provide high-quality and innovative cell designs for battery manufacturing would be well-suited to compete. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, offering potential suppliers the chance to showcase their expertise in the design and execution of research and development services within the battery sector.

## Notice

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). The facility currently has two main cell designs that can be manufactured on its current production lines, a 300 x 100 pouch cell design and a 21700 cylindrical cell design. To better support the industry UKBIC is considering investment in additional cell assembly lines such as for tab-less cylindrical cells and prismatic cells. A pre-requisite for doing this is to have well developed cell designs with which UKBIC can engage with potential equipment suppliers and so this is the purpose of this "Cell Assembly Enabler" project. The cell designs being considered have been split into two lots and bidders are invited to submit tenders for either or both lots according to their experience and expertise.
