The contract is set to commence on 21st August 2017, extending until 31st October 2018. The tender period ended on 11th July 2017, and this open procurement procedure allows for comprehensive competitive bidding. Located in Didcot, England, this project is a significant opportunity for suppliers based in the region as well as those willing to deliver internationally. This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in high-precision manufacturing, particularly those with expertise in cryogenic cooling systems and optical devices. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the buyer is open to innovative solutions and may consider alternative sourcing options for specific components. Companies with a strong background in engineering, optics, or related technologies will find this tender aligns well with their capabilities, allowing them to expand their market presence and develop long-term relationships with a reputable organisation in the scientific community. ## Notice This tender is for the design, manufacture, supply and installation of 2 identical, horizontally deflecting, Double Crystal Monochromators (DCM) for use at DLS. It should be noted that these monochromators deviate from the standard fixed exit Monos in that the exit beam offset varies with energy. Each monochromator system should include liquid Nitrogen cryogenic cooling and 1 crystal set. All motors, encoders and limits should be included. The tender document gives detailed technical specifications for the DCM system, guided by the properties of the source and assessment of available technology. The DCM s must have a complete cryogenic cooling system and cryo-cooling unit. However, the Supplier may quote the cryo-cooling unit and distribution circuit as an option. If the Supplier chooses to do so, the cryo-cooling unit should be quoted as a separate item in the bid. The 2 cryo-cooling units may be sourced from a third party. If the Supplier chooses not to do so, each DCM must still be manufactured with all components (coolant pipes, connections etc.,) necessary for cryo-cooling the crystals once a separately procured cryo-cooling unit is connected.
