## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Coventry University involved acquiring a Coating Machine, under the category of metal-spraying machinery, aimed to replace existing equipment and enhance battery electrode coating capabilities. This procurement falls within the goods category and has been awarded to Xiamen Tmax Battery Equipment, with the contract active from 17 January 2026 to 16 January 2027. Coventry University, located in Coventry, UK, with contact available via Procurement@coventry.ac.uk, managed this below-threshold procurement, ensuring forward and backward compatibility with previous development projects. The process was completed, with the contract signed on 16 January 2026.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in manufacturing and supplying metal-spraying machinery, particularly those equipped to offer bespoke solutions for complex installation requirements. Given the technical specifications and compatibility needs, large-scale suppliers like Xiamen Tmax Battery Equipment fit well into this context. Enterprises focused on innovation in engineering processes, especially those with international capabilities, could find growth possibilities in similar procurement endeavours. Coventry University's decision highlights the importance of multimodal delivery solutions and adaptability in product architecture, useful for businesses looking to expand their portfolios in niche manufacturing sectors.

## Notice

Replacement comma bar type reel-to-reel coater, replacing existing one that has broken. The item specified from the supplier ensures forward and back compatibility with the last 6+ years development work on battery electrode coating and also into 7 ongoing funded projects. Additional technical/ practical difficulties, this item will be >3m in length and as such would not fit into lift to get to 2nd floor AG building (cannot go anywhere else). I have also spoken with a specialist removal company (with site visit) to check if such an item could be moved up stairs and they have said no. This model and supplier provide in 4 sections that are put together on site amd will allow for this to be moved in goods lift. All other suppliers investigated that may have had some compatibility with previous work do not offer this and as such, the equipment would not be able to be installed.
