Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff University is in the planning stage of a public procurement process to source a contractor for quality assurance for the PETIC department, following a regulatory inspection in November. The university, classified under the education sector (COFOG category 09), is located at Procurement Services, The Spark Building, 3rd Floor, Maindy Road, Cardiff.

The contractor will support quality assurance processes within the PETIC department over an initial period of six months. The procurement is categorized under services with a CPV classification of 72225000, and it is covered by the GPA and based on the CELEX legal framework.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses experienced in quality assurance within a GMP manufacturing environment, particularly those familiar with aseptic/sterile manufacture and radiopharmaceuticals. Cardiff University's requirement for a contractor capable of overseeing workflow management, documentation, quality assessments, and supplier management tasks means companies with a proven track record in these areas can gain significant exposure and credibility. Additionally, businesses that specialise in remediation activities and have an appreciation for regulatory compliance in niche pharmaceutical manufacturing would be well-suited to compete in this tender.
