What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionLocated 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 manufacture a number of pre-series and production PEBPM bellows assemblies for the assembly into the Diamond-II storage ring. This will require several development activities, such as design, manufacturing trials, manufacture, welding, inspection, testing and delivery to DLS. Installation at DLS by the supplier is not required.
