Diamond Light Source (DLS) is the UK's national synchrotron science facility, located at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire. By accelerating electrons to near light-speed, Diamond generates brilliant beams of light from infra-red to X-rays which are used for academic and industry research and development across a range of scientific disciplines including structural biology, physics, chemistry, materials science, engineering, earth and environmental sciences. For more information about Diamond Light Source please see our website www.diamond.ac.uk The framework agreement with the appointed Contractor is to construct and refurbish Beamline cabins, the installation of their Mechanical and Electrical services and to carry out other projects, creating value through teamwork with Contractor participation in design workshops with the designers for buildability and appropriate Value Engineering. These projects will be limited to a maximum value of £5m for each individual framework activity. Beamline projects are usually procured "traditionally", with a separated Consultant design phase, but often with Contractor Design & Build for the Miscellaneous Projects and refits.
