II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult (CGTC) is part of a world-leading network of technology and innovation centres. Established in December 2012 and now with over 100 employees, we believe through science and industry, our expertise in cell and gene therapies will one day provide better treatments that will help improve patient quality of life whilst building a global industry the UK can be proud of. Our mission to deliver health and wealth is supported by the UK's enviable academic base. We strive to be a world leader in cell and gene therapy and support those who wish to convert research into products that have the potential to have direct impact in advanced healthcare.
CGTC is not alone in this ambition. Regenerative medicine is 1 of the government's 8 great technologies that support UK science strengths and capabilities.
CGTC's offices are located in Guys Hospital in London. CGTC are building a 55 000 000 GBP large-scale GMP Manufacturing Centre to help bring cell and gene therapies to market in the UK and internationally. It will provide the UK with the manufacturing facilities needed for later-stage cell and gene therapy clinical studies and commercialisation. The centre benefits from an established supply chain, prime UK location in Stevenage and expert impartial advice from the Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult, enabling the manufacture of therapies to the highest grade, with minimal risk and 100 percent control.
This procurement is for the supply, implementation and support of a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) for CGTC. The LIMS solution will cover two sites, primarily the manufacturing centre in Stevenage with a subset of system functionality available for use at CGTC's Guys Hospital location.
The new LIMS will negate the need for numerous ad hoc laboratory data management systems as currently used at the Guys hospital site and will bring a fully integrated and validated LIMS solution to the Stevenage Manufacturing Centre.
The budget for the requirement is between 200 000 GBP and 300 000 GBP over 5 years (3 years initially plus two potential further periods of up to 24 months).
