This tender falls under the industry category of "Girders" (CPV: 44212240) and aims to support the upgrade to the Diamond-II facility. This procurement involves manufacturing 52 machined girder fabrications for storage ring magnets and vacuum vessels. The Diamond-II upgrade, which enhances instruments for life and physical sciences, requires the delivery of four pre-series girders by the supplier, with inspection and approval before manufacturing the remaining girder series. The tender process employed is open and above the threshold, with the tender period concluding on 5 February 2025. The contract period spans from 3 March 2025 to 5 April 2027.

Businesses, particularly SMEs, can leverage this contract opportunity to significantly grow their operations by engaging in high-precision fabrication and machining tasks. Suppliers of machined fabrications should consider this tender particularly appealing due to the specialised nature of the machined girders and the role they play in advancing scientific infrastructure. Given the significant contract value of £1,425,280 GBP, companies with expertise in detailed machining, quality control, and timely delivery can substantially benefit from participating. Diamond Light Source Ltd offers a streamlined tender registration process, encouraging interested parties to register their interest and access detailed tender documents for further information.

Notice Title

DLSITT1050 - Supply of Storage Ring Girder Machined Fabrications for Diamond-II

Notice Description

Located on the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, Diamond Light Source (DLS) is a leading-edge facility for science, engineering and innovation. Diamond allows researchers from academia and industry to investigate the structure and behaviour of the world around us at the atomic and molecular level. To continue delivering the world changing science that Diamond enables, the facility is being upgraded to Diamond-II, a coordinated programme of development that combines a major machine upgrade with new instruments and complementary improvements to optics,detectors, sample environment and delivery capabilities, and computing, as well as integrated and correlative methods. This will be transformative in speed and spatial resolution and will offer users streamlined access to enhanced instruments for life and physical sciences. The scope of the contract is to manufacture 52 machined girder fabrications which form the support structure for the storage ring magnets and vacuum vessels. There are 4 types of final machined girder required with different quantities. The supplier shall deliver a set of 4 pre-series girders, one of each type for DLS to inspect and approve prior to main series manufacture of the remaining 48 girders.
