## Summary

Diamond Light Source Ltd, a body governed by public law located in Didcot, UK, is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "DLSPIN2002 - X-ray Mirrors" under the industry category of X-ray devices (CPV Code: 33111000). This tender involves acquiring several X-ray mirror systems for beamlines, which include complete systems with goniometry, vacuum vessels, and bending mechanisms, as well as standalone mirrors. The project involves stringent requirements for shape error and roughness, reflecting high precision standards. The notice for this procurement will be published on 30th September 2025.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity for companies specialising in the manufacture of X-ray optical components and systems. Businesses with expertise in producing and coating flat and cylindrically polished substrate materials, and those capable of integrating water-cooling circuits for synchrotron beam illumination, will find this tender particularly suitable. Firms that can deliver on high precision requirements in harsh conditions stand to benefit. Diamond Light Source Ltd is seeking experienced suppliers who can meet the exacting technical specifications set out in this tender.

## Notice

Over the next several years, Diamond Light source will require several X-ray mirror systems for beamlines. Most of these will be complete systems, including goniometry, vacuum vessels, and some bending mechanisms (mechanical or bimorph) and others may be for just the mirrors. The mirrors will be manufactured from flat and cylindrically polished substrate materials, with various surface coatings. Mirrors that are illuminating by the direct synchrotron beam will require appropriate water-cooling circuits. Shape error and roughness requirements will be very stringent.
