UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cell Therapy Catapult Limited procured specialist quality consultancy to support good manufacturing practice (GMP) compliance, quality oversight and licensed manufacturing activities. This is a quality and manufacturing-compliance advisory service for a cell therapy organisation, rather than the supply of goods or construction work. The buyer is based in London; the data does not identify a separate delivery location. The consultancy supports the organisation’s manufacturing operations and regulated quality responsibilities. The requirement is focused on specialist advice and oversight connected to GMP standards and licensed production.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Cell Therapy Catapult Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2027, for 12 months. Its value is £150,800 excluding VAT (£180,960 including VAT). Walker Cole International Ltd was selected as supplier. The procurement comprised one lot, covering the quality consultancy requirement. The published data does not describe evaluation criteria; this was a non-competitive direct award rather than a tender evaluated against competing bids.

This award shows demand from Cell Therapy Catapult for specialist quality consultancy tied specifically to GMP compliance, quality oversight and licensed manufacturing. A credible competitor would need practical expertise in regulated manufacturing quality and the ability to advise on compliance while supporting ongoing production activity. The work calls for consultancy capability that connects quality systems and oversight with the operational realities of licensed manufacturing, rather than general business advice alone. The buyer selected a specialist consultancy through a direct award, so suppliers seeking comparable future work should be able to demonstrate relevant sector experience and deliver focused support to a cell therapy manufacturing organisation. The requirement’s 12-month scale indicates a defined advisory engagement, not a large multi-lot programme.
