## Summary

Diamond Light Source Limited, located in Didcot, Oxfordshire, has completed an open procurement process for the "9004199 - Supply of Booster Kicker Magnets for Diamond-II" as part of its facility upgrade. The procurement relates to the detailed design, manufacture, quality control, testing, and delivery of four in-vacuum kicker magnets and power supplies, as part of the Diamond-II programme. This tender falls under the public authority - central government category, with the main procurement focus on goods. The award process has been finalised as of April 2026, with the contract active from March 2026 to December 2027. The goods are to be delivered to the Harwell Science & Innovation Campus, supporting enhancements in scientific research capabilities.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the design and manufacture of high-precision magnets and power supplies. Companies with expertise in delivering goods for scientific research facilities, such as SMEs with experience in the engineering and scientific instrumentation sectors, would find this contract particularly suitable for expanding their business presence. The involvement of an open procurement method also means businesses of various scales had an opportunity to compete, enhancing supplier diversity and innovation in the delivery of critical scientific components. This project aligns with high technical quality, experience, and capacity standards, providing qualifying businesses with the chance to contribute to a transformative scientific infrastructure upgrade.

## Notice

Located on the Harwell Science & Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, Diamond Light Source (DLS) is a leading-edge facility for science, engineering and innovation. DLS 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 this contract is to carry out the detailed design, manufacture, quality control, testing and delivery of 4 in-vacuum kicker magnets and power supplies. The main parts of all four magnets will be identical with individual matching pieces for each magnet. One magnet is used for injection and requires a rapid return to zero field, the other three are used for extraction and require a rapid rise to nominal field which is also stronger than in the injection magnet. It is envisaged that these differences should be achieved in the power supplies i.e. there will be two different power supply types, which should use as many common components as possible. The DLS design envisages a common magnet structure and main vessel for all 4 kickers with bespoke taper/matching pieces for each location. Use of a common power supply design tuned for the two different requirements is desired but different designs would be considered with appropriate justification.
