## Description
UKBIC has a requirement to purchase a range of equipment for the assembly of both cylindrical and pouch cells to establish a Flexible Cell Assembly Line at the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre.
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).
This PIN lists the general requirements for cylindrical and pouch cell manufacturing equipment, which is required for the manufacture of high quality, commercially relevant, high power or high energy, cylindrical and pouch cells in low volumes.
This requirement is split into three lots:
Lot 1 – Vacuum drying ovens
Lot 2 – Cylindrical cell assembly equipment
Lot 3 – Pouch cell assembly equipment
Suppliers will be able to bid for individual lots, however bids that offer combined solutions incorporating more than one aspect of this equipment are encouraged.
Bidders are also encouraged to put forward energy efficient solutions.
All equipment to provide UKCA conformity.
