This procurement falls under the goods category and is specifically targeted at suppliers of vacuum pumps (CPV code 42122450). The submission deadline for this open procedure is 14th January 2025, with electronic submissions being accepted until 12:00 PM on this date. The procurement is expected to enhance the capabilities of the upgraded Diamond-II facility, driving forward scientific research in both life and physical sciences. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in vacuum pumps and related power supplies, particularly those with experience in providing customisable, high-quality standard catalogue items. Companies that can demonstrate technical quality, relevant experience, capacity, competitive pricing, and efficient delivery will be well-positioned to compete. The contract, which has a duration of 720 days, could serve as a valuable reference and growth driver for suppliers in the scientific research supply chain, fostering their reputation and market presence. ## 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 coordinated 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 the supply of fixed (non-mobile) ultra-high vacuum pumps and their associated power supplies for Diamond-II. The supply of the ultra-high vacuum pumps includes ion pumps, NEG cartridge pumps and combined single-unit NEG cartridge and ion pumps. The pumps and power supplies must be current standard catelogue items, which the supplier has a history of supplying; in some cases, these will need to be customised to meet the specification. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Located on the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, Diamond Light Source (DLS) is a leading-edge facility for science, engineering and innovation.
