Summary of the contracting process

Cell & Gene Therapy Catapult is buying cleanroom mops for cleaning operations at its SMIC facility. The requirement covers either supplying mops for purchase or part-rental, together with processing and maintenance. The mops must be dry, non-impregnated and at least double wrapped, supporting contamination control in GMP Grade B-D cleanrooms. They will be used in an environment requiring compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice, Good Laboratory Practice and relevant standards. The service also includes certificates of conformity, sterility assurance documentation, training and technical support when required, either remotely or in person. The anticipated operational scale is around 2,000 mops in circulation, with approximately 1,000 processed each week, while allowing for changes in the organisation’s requirements.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. This is a single-lot goods contract with an estimated gross value of £200,000. Questions had to be submitted by 7 October 2026 at 5:00 pm, and offers had to be submitted electronically in English by 19 October 2026 at noon through the stated eSourcing response portal. The intended award decision period ends on 17 November 2026. The contract is planned to run from 8 February 2027 to 7 February 2029, with an option to extend to 7 February 2030; the stated renewal is a further 12 months. Award evaluation is weighted 60% quality and 40% price.

This opportunity suits specialist cleanroom consumables suppliers and laundering or processing providers able to support regulated cell and gene therapy or laboratory environments. Bidders need to supply or part-rent mops suitable for GMP Grade B-D cleanrooms, maintain the required wrapping and contamination-control standards, and process about 1,000 mops each week while adapting to changing demand. Strong candidates will have documented systems for Good Manufacturing Practice and Good Laboratory Practice compliance, with the ability to provide certificates of conformity and sterility assurance. The requirement also favours suppliers that can deliver reliable maintenance, responsive technical support and practical training, either remotely or in person. Quality carries greater evaluation weight than price, making documented technical performance and operational assurance particularly important.
