This public procurement process is classified under the services category with a specific focus on computer-related services. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing all interested parties to submit proposals. The tender period will close on 19th August 2020, with the contract commencing on 21st September 2020 and lasting until 30th September 2025, potentially extendable for an additional two years. The location for the delivery of this contract is in the South East region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for software development and IT service companies specializing in environmental monitoring solutions. Businesses with expertise in regulated data management, laboratory information management systems (LIMS), and automated data integration would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Moreover, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, promoting diversity and innovation in the bidding process. ## Notice In setting up the Vaccine Manufacturing and Innovation Centre facility, it is anticipated that VMIC will require a software solution for quality control (QC) Micro environmental monitoring data. The background for the required management of environmental data is laid out below. The manufacture of the pharmaceutical vaccines must be performed under regulated, controlled conditions. These constant controlled conditions are essential to guarantee a consistent quality of manufactured products. This also applies to the staff working in these clean rooms. Regulatory directives therefore require monitoring of the environmental conditions including viable and non-viable particles and monitoring of the personnel during manufacturing processes. VMIC facility is designed to include cleanrooms and isolators with Grade A to D classification. Process gasses used in the manufacture process will have to be monitored for potential microbial contamination. Furthermore, Water for Injection (WFI) is manufactured within the VMIC facility that must adhere to regulatory standards and requires regular monitoring. VMIC QC Microbiology will be responsible for the performing of the monitoring of the above stated areas for the qualification of the facility and the WFI plant and will continue to monitor to enable operations in the clean rooms and manufacture of vaccines. To that end, a software solution is sought to enable the organisation and planning of the required monitoring activities; the collation and evaluation of data; transfer of monitoring data collated by external equipment directly into the software system; transfer of selected data to a laboratory information management system (LIMS) for batch release purposes; and the trending of the environmental conditions. This software solution should enable improved data transfer from planning stage through to evaluation stage by providing considerable paperless solutions with guaranteed data integrity. The contract is for an implementation period followed by 3 years with an option to extend for a further 2 x 12-month periods. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/10d6db00-a07b-4c38-b8ad-fc48da104807 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Jul 2020 | | Submission deadline | 19 Aug 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Sep 2020 - 30 Sep 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | VACCINES MANUFACTURING AND INNOVATION CENTRE (UK) LIMITED | | Locality | OXFORD | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX4 4GP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | Oxford | | Electoral ward | Littlemore | | Westminster constituency | Oxford East | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72500000 - Computer-related services ## Release History - 20 Jul 2020 at 17:39 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/10d6db00-a07b-4c38-b8ad-fc48da104807 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/10d6db00-a07b-4c38-b8ad-fc48da104807 20th July 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:335844-2020:TEXT:EN:HTML ## Notice URLs - https://www.vmicuk.com/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
