Procurement description
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 manufacture a number of Production Secondary Photon
and Beam Port Absorber assemblies as defined in the specification, which will be required
for the assembly of the Diamond-II Storage Ring. This will require several development
activities, such as design, trials, manufacture, welding, brazing, inspection, testing and
delivery to Diamond Light Source. Installation at DLS is not included.
The total number of assemblies required are as follows: (including the First Articles):
· 6 off - LM Photon Leg Absorber Assy.
· 20 off - SM Photon Leg Absorber Assy.
· 12 off - BPA Assembly
