The project, based at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, falls under the Industrial Machinery industry category. The award was given to RTC Engineering a.s. (Revol TT Consulting) on 23rd September 2024, with the contract running until 30th December 2025. Key dates include the tender period end date on 12th August 2024, and the start date of the contract was 1st September 2024. This open procedure procurement method was aimed at above-threshold participants, specifically suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs specialising in industrial machinery and precision manufacturing. Participating companies can gain prestige by associating with the UK's largest scientific facility and could benefit from potential future collaborations. Businesses with expertise in manufacturing to precise tolerances and those who can offer feedback on optimising the manufacturing process would be well-suited to compete. The procurement process supports SME involvement, ensuring smaller companies can effectively participate and potentially thrive in such high-profile projects.

## Notice

Located on the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, Diamond is a cutting edge 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. Diamond allows researchers from academia and industry to investigate the structure and behaviour of the world around us at the atomic and molecular level. Areas of investigation include fields such as medicine, the environment, materials and engineering science, physics, chemistry and heritage science. The research undertaken at Diamond brings economic, health and quality of life benefits to the UK and further afield. The scope of this contract is to carry out manufacture, assembly, quality control and delivery to Diamond of 108 DL magnet mechanical assemblies for the Diamond-II storage ring, in accordance with this specification. Detailed designs have been produced by DLS and the Supplier is expected to manufacture to print respecting the detailed tolerances. DLS welcomes feedback on manufacturability of the parts and it is expected there may be minor revision required to enable the manufacturing process to be optimised. The supply of the permanent magnet blocks required for these magnets and their installation into the yoke and pole pieces are not part of this contract To apply visit our website which requires suppliers to complete a one-off simple registration form, which will generate a unique password for your account.
