In plain English

Diamond Light Source, a major science facility in Oxfordshire, is buying twelve Absorber Assemblies and five 1st Aperture Assemblies as part of its Diamond-II upgrade. The supplier would make these components, test them, and deliver them. The estimated value is £250,000.

What the buyer wants

• Manufacture twelve Absorber Assemblies and five 1st Aperture Assemblies to the specification • Test the assemblies and deliver them to the site • Supply assemblies that can run continuously for long periods without maintenance, as they sit in a restricted area

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice sets no explicit qualification thresholds, but it requires manufacture and testing to a detailed specification that is not included in the notice, for components that must run for long periods without maintenance in a restricted area, so a small business without proven manufacturing and testing capability for this kind of equipment would most likely be ruled out.

Always check the tender documents.
