9001600 - Supply of Front End Module Zeros for Diamond Light Source

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 coordinated 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, supply and deliver a suite of Front End module zeros. 23 in total of 3 different designs.

The term 'Front End' (FE) refers to the section of the synchrotron that runs between the Storage Ring and the Shield Wall. The Front End conditions the beam in preparation for use on the Beamline. Zero Module Assembly is used for connecting various Front Ends to the Storage Ring.
