Summary of the contracting process

Cell Therapy Catapult Limited procured specialist maintenance services for its existing Water for Injection (WFI) system. The requirement covered a controlled shutdown of the system, followed by ongoing support to maintain it in a safe and stable condition for a limited period. This is a technical facilities and precision-equipment maintenance requirement, including repair and maintenance of measuring, testing and checking apparatus (CPV 50410000) and precision equipment (CPV 50430000). The work is for the buyer’s WFI installation in London. It will be relevant to businesses with experience of pharmaceutical or life-sciences water systems, controlled shutdowns, and the maintenance of equipment where operational safety, stability and continuity are important.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Cell Therapy Catapult Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Puretech Systems Limited was selected as the supplier for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 2 July 2026 and runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2029. Its value is £32,350 excluding VAT, or £38,820 including VAT. The tender reached complete status. The award covered the full requirement rather than separate competing lots. The available procurement information identifies the service category and direct-award route, while the outcome confirms the selected supplier and the agreed three-year service period.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award is a clear example of Cell Therapy Catapult’s demand for specialist support around an operational WFI system. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate safe, controlled shutdown procedures; practical knowledge of pharmaceutical or life-sciences water systems; and the ability to provide reliable maintenance support after shutdown. Experience maintaining measuring, testing, checking and other precision equipment would be directly relevant. The requirement favours a technically capable service provider able to keep a system safe and stable over an extended support period, with sufficient engineering capacity to respond consistently and work within a regulated or quality-sensitive environment.
