The Cell & Gene Therapy Catapult (CGTC), located in London, has initiated a tender process for the supply and implementation of a Warehouse Management System (WMS). This procurement falls under the services industry category and is critical for supporting CGTC's new £55 million GMP Manufacturing Centre in Stevenage, set to enhance cell and gene therapy production capabilities. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a deadline for submission on 15th February 2017. The procurement has a budget of between £350,000 and £550,000 for a potential five-year contract, which includes an initial three-year period with two possible extensions of up to 24 months each.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for software developers and IT service providers specialising in warehousing and inventory management systems. Companies that focus on advanced software solutions or have expertise in supporting pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors will be particularly well-suited to compete.
