Summary of the contracting process

Diamond Light Source Ltd, a renowned scientific research facility located on the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, is overseeing the procurement process for the supply of a versatile X-ray diffractometer. The procurement, categorized under X-ray devices (CPV 33111000), falls within the industry of scientific research equipment. The process follows an open procedure and has recently reached the award stage, with Bruker UK Limited being awarded the contract valued at £208,217. The contract, officially signed on 12th August 2024, involves delivering, installing, and commissioning a sophisticated X-ray system at the specified location in the Optics Fabrication Building Lab 5. This project entails a fixed delivery addressing specific technical and capacity requirements. The tender initially started with the announcement on 6th June 2024, with submissions closing on 8th July 2024.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in scientific instrumentation and high-precision measurement equipment. Companies experienced in manufacturing and supplying X-ray devices, such as the versatile X-ray diffractometer specified, are well-suited to compete. The award's emphasis on technical quality, experience, capacity, and support efforts (accounting for 60% of the evaluation criteria) suggests that businesses focusing on delivering high-quality and technologically advanced solutions stand to benefit considerably. With the procurement being conducted under an open procedure, SMEs have substantial access to participate and secure advancement in the scientific research sector by contributing to this high-profile project at Diamond Light Source.

Notice Title

8041768 - Supply of an X-ray Diffractometer

Notice Description

Located on the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, Diamond is a leadingedge facility for science, engineering and innovation. It is the largest science facility to be built in the UK for 40 years and produces ultra-violet, infra-red and X-ray beams of exceptional brightness. The scope is to deliver, install and commission a versatile x-ray system based on an x-ray source, optics, diffractometer and detector. The system will be located at a permanent fixed position on the floor of the Optics Fabrication Building Lab. 5. The instrument will be mainly dedicated for reflectivity measurements to characterise testing of multilayer optical elements for the Multilayer Deposition System. The optical elements to be tested are mirrors, thin films and multilayers. These will be either free standing or mounted on holders. Therefore, a large range of sample weights and sizes should be possible to be installed on the diffractometer. It is envisaged that the instrument will be used for measuring high resolution reflectivity. Mirror and multilayer measurements will be done at grazing incidence angle. The diffractometer will have to accommodate samples weighing up to 1 kg with dimensions up to 100mm (Length)x50mm (Width)x50 mm (Height)., appropriate stage motion to perform measurements at different positions on (to map) the sample. It is expected that the versatile x-ray diffractometer will be based on: a high intensity x-ray tube with a copper target; interchangeable, high energy and angle resolution x-ray optical modules for pre- and post-processing the x-ray beam; 4 circle diffractometer with sample stage allowing X, Y, Z translations, sample rotation and tilt adjustment perpendicular to the incident beam. The optics modules will be chosen according to required beam intensity, collimation, resolution and size.
