This tender, under the title "Pouch Cell Equipment", falls under the industrial machinery category and covers the delivery to the United Kingdom in the West Midlands (UKG region). At the tender stage, the process is open for electronic submissions until the deadline of 10th December 2024. The award period is set to commence on the same day. The total value of this procurement is estimated at £1,300,000 GBP. This initiative is crucial as UKBIC's FPL facility aims to support companies in scaling up their battery manufacturing capabilities before transitioning to high-volume production. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in industrial machinery, particularly those specialising in advanced electrode production and cell assembly technologies. Companies with expertise in mixing, coating, calendering, slitting, and cell assembly can benefit by participating. The procurement presents a valuable entry point for businesses looking to penetrate or expand their presence in the rapidly growing battery and electrification industries in the UK. With the FPL facility designed for versatility and the emphasis on supporting scaling processes, firms capable of delivering high-quality technical solutions while maintaining cost efficiency stand a strong chance of thriving in this competitive tender. ## Notice UKBIC is actively developing a new Flexible Pilot Line (FPL) facility designed to meet the needs of customers who are not yet positioned to utilise the existing high-volume Industrial Scale-up Line (ISL). This cutting-edge FPL facility is being created with versatility in mind, enabling UKBIC to offer a valuable intermediary step for companies in the process of scaling up their battery manufacturing capabilities. The new FPL facility will feature advanced electrode production equipment, which includes processes such as mixing, coating, calendering, and slitting. Additionally, it will incorporate one or more dedicated cell assembly lines, providing a comprehensive solution for companies to develop and refine their battery technologies before moving to full-scale production on the ISL. This particular tender specifically addresses the procurement of a new pouch cell assembly line as part of the FPL facility. The addition of the pouch cell assembly line will significantly enhance UKBIC's ability to offer flexible production capabilities and meet the varied needs of its clients, supporting the UK's rapidly growing battery and electrification industries. ### Lot Information Lot 1 UKBIC is actively developing a new Flexible Pilot Line (FPL) facility designed to meet the needs of customers who are not yet positioned to utilize the existing high-volume Industrial Scale-up Line (ISL).
