Diamond Light Source Ltd, in short
Who does Diamond Light Source Ltd award contracts to?
Across 117 contracts recorded since 2021, Diamond Light Source Ltd has used 71 different suppliers. The most frequent are XDS Oxford Limited (12 contracts), FMB Feinwerk- und Messtechnik GmbH (5 contracts), Instrument Design Technology Ltd (5 contracts).
What does Diamond Light Source Ltd buy?
Its most active procurement categories are laboratory and precision equipment, electrical equipment and lighting, construction materials and structures. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do Diamond Light Source Ltd contracts come up for renewal?
44 contracts awarded by Diamond Light Source Ltd have an end date within the next 18 months, the earliest on 16 Nov 2026. End dates come from the original award notices, so they are visible well before any re-tender is advertised.
How much does Diamond Light Source Ltd spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £367k, across the 117 contracts that state a value. Published values are not added up here: a framework's value is a ceiling shared by every supplier on it, and the same value is often repeated across lots, so adding them up would overstate what is spent.
How can I be alerted to new Diamond Light Source Ltd tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new Diamond Light Source Ltd notice against your organisation's profile, delivering the relevant ones before 9am alongside their contracts approaching renewal.

How these figures are worked out
- The last 12 months: award notices published from 8 November 2025 to 7 November 2026, each contract counted once however many suppliers or rows it has. The same window is used everywhere on this page.
- Year on year: Its published contract awards have fallen in each of the last two years. Contracts by publication date in the 12 months to 7 Nov 2026 and the two years before it, oldest first: 57, 47 and 28. A change of more than 15% counts as a rise or fall; each year needs at least 5 contracts.
- Most of its current contracts end in the next 12 months: 38 of its 51 contracts with an end date still to come end by 7 November 2027. Shown when that is more than half, with at least 5.
- Has awarded contracts every year since 2021: At least one contract in every calendar year from 2021 to 2026, by award date (or publication date where the award date is later). Our records begin in 2021.
- Took on 5 new suppliers in the last 12 months: Suppliers named on a contract it awarded and published since 8 November 2025, and on none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Most recent award: recorded 5 Nov 2026 (2 days ago).
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
