## Summary

The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC) in Coventry is inviting tenders for the supply of Cylindrical Cell Assembly equipment, under the procurement titled "FPL Cylindrical Cell Assembly." This procurement falls within the Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables sector. It pertains to the design and tooling for 21700 and 4695 tabless cells. The procurement, currently in the tender stage, follows an open procedure and submissions are to be made electronically. The tender period ends on 17 January 2025, with the contract expected to commence shortly thereafter, covering a duration of 360 days.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in industrial and electrical machinery, particularly those with capabilities in advanced cell manufacturing equipment. Suitable applicants might include manufacturers of precision tooling, automation technology, or bespoke industrial machinery. This contract provides a platform for such companies to showcase their innovation and technical prowess, potentially leading to further collaborations with UKBIC or similar organisations in the evolving battery manufacturing industry. The tender evaluation will focus heavily on technical quality and cost-effectiveness, with a 70:30 weighting respectively.

## Notice

This specific tender is for Cylindrical Cell Assembly equipment which can be configured to make a range of cell designs and will include tooling for the manufacture of two specific tabless cell designs. These are: * Product 1: 21700 tabless cell (crimped closure) * Product 2: 4695 tabless cell (laser closure) It is not expected that both cell designs can be produced concurrently as where possible machines should be capable (with tooling changes) of being configured for either cell design. This is both to reduce capital expenditure and to minimise the space required in the dry room.
