## Description
UKBIC has a requirement to purchase a range of equipment for manufacturing conformance testing of battery cells to establish a Flexible Industrialisation Line (FIL) 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 cell cycling equipment to be housed in a new self-contained (external) test facility as part of a Flexible Industrialisation Line (FIL) at UKBIC.  This requirement will be split into three lots:
Lot 1 – Cell cycling equipment
Lot 2 – Temperature chambers
Lot 3 – Modular building
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.
The ability to fabricate offsite and provide a turnkey solution for a complete self-contained test facility incorporating all aspects would be advantageous.
Bidders will also encouraged to put forward energy efficient solutions.
All equipment to provide UKCA conformity.
