In plain English

Diamond Light Source, a science facility in Oxfordshire, is buying 14 pumping modules, with their support frames, for its Diamond-II upgrade. The modules will be installed at seven experimental stations and must run for long periods without maintenance. The contract covers manufacturing, supplying, testing and delivering the equipment.

What the buyer wants

• Manufacture, supply, test and deliver 14 upstream and downstream pumping modules, including their support frames, for straights I02, I03, I04, I07, I11, I19 and I24. • Build the modules to run continuously for extended periods without maintenance, and build the frames rigidly to minimise the effects of ground vibration. • Supply frames with four manually adjustable feet to allow accurate survey positioning, following the full specification (which is referred to but not included in this notice).

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice requires manufacture and testing of 14 specialised modules and frames that must run continuously without maintenance and be built to limit ground vibration, which would most likely rule out a small business without in-house manufacturing, testing and engineering capacity for this kind of equipment, and the full specification may add further demands.

Always check the tender documents.
