## Summary

The buying organisation, Diamond Light Source Ltd, based in Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Didcot, United Kingdom, published a tender for the procurement of a Passive Superconducting 3rd Harmonic RF Cavity for Diamond-II. This contract falls under the goods category and involves the design, manufacture, delivery, installation, and commissioning of a passive superconducting higher harmonic Radio Frequency Cavity. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with a contract value of 1,870,000 GBP. The procurement stage is in the award phase, with the contract awarded to Shanghai Shetmil-Cas International Limited on 22nd April 2024.

This tender process by Diamond Light Source Ltd presents an opportunity for businesses in the electronics industry to compete for the supply of RF Cavities. Companies with expertise in manufacturing electronic valves and tubes along with experience in handling complex installations and commissioning projects would be well-suited to bid for this opportunity. The completion of this contract will contribute to the upgrade of the Diamond facility to Diamond-II, enhancing the capabilities for research and scientific innovation in the fields of life and physical sciences.

## Notice

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 design, manufacture, deliver, install and commission (in the Diamond RF Test Facility), a passive superconducting (SC) higher harmonic Radio Frequency (RF) Cavity (HHC) complete with cryostat, supporting structure and all required auxiliary equipment. This will be referred to as the 'cryomodule'.
