Summary of the contracting process

Diamond Light Source Ltd, located on the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Didcot, Oxfordshire, has completed the procurement process for the supply of Diamond-II Group C Girder Vacuum Vessels. This initiative is part of an upgrade programme for the Diamond Light Source facility, known as Diamond-II, aimed at enhancing its capabilities for scientific research. The tender process, which followed an open procedure compliant with the GPA, culminated in awarding the contract to Strumenti Scientifici Cinel s.r.l. on 27th September 2024. The project focuses on the manufacture, welding, inspection, and testing of pressure vessels, excluding their installation. The procurement primarily falls under the goods category, particularly for pressure vessels.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in manufacturing high-quality scientific and industrial components. The focus on technical quality, experience, capacity, and timely delivery suggests that companies with robust engineering capabilities, especially SMEs with expertise in pressure vessel manufacturing and associated testing, may find this type of project particularly well-suited. The open procedure also implies transparency and accessibility, encouraging competition and providing a fair chance for qualified businesses to engage and grow through high-value contracts like this one, valued at over €1.75 million.

Notice Title

9000659 - Supply of Diamond-II Group C Girder Vacuum Vessels

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 co-ordinated 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 a number of Pre-series and Production vessels required for the assembly of the Diamond-II Storage Ring, this will require several development activities, such as design, trials, manufacture, welding, inspection, testing and delivery to Diamond Light Source. Installation at DLS is not included.
