## Summary

The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre is conducting an active open tender for batch-type vacuum drying ovens specifically for drying anode and cathode battery electrodes. This procurement falls within the industrial machinery category and is located in the UKG region, Coventry. The tender was initiated on 27th November 2024, and the process is currently at the tender stage, with the period ending on 2nd January 2025, at 12:00 PM. Businesses are required to submit their proposals electronically. The total value of the tender is £250,000, with the delivery expected within 360 days from the contract award date of 2nd January 2025.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of industrial machinery, specifically those that specialise in equipment for the battery manufacturing sector. Companies with expertise in developing vacuum drying ovens that can handle anode and cathode materials, and those recognised for delivering high-quality technical specifications, would be well-suited to compete. The key award criteria are weighted towards technical quality (70%) and cost (30%), making it an attractive opportunity for experienced suppliers looking to expand their market presence in the fast-growing energy storage industry.

## Notice

This specific tender is for batch-type vacuum drying ovens for the specific purpose of drying anode and cathode battery electrodes which may contain moisture and residual solvent from the coating/drying process. Separate drying ovens are required for anode and cathode materials. It is expected that the electrode reels will be loaded onto tubes (i.e. cantilever style) or onto frames that can be moved into the chamber. Internal volume is expected to be in the range 0.5 to 1 m3
