What is being bought

Published requirement 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 this contract is to carry out detailed design, manufacture, quality control, magnetic measurements and delivery to Diamond of a total of 55 Dipole-Quadrupole (DQ)

magnets including 1 pre-series magnet, and 1 special variant, for the Diamond-II upgrade, in accordance with the specification.
