    Brief

    NHS Blood and Transplant seeks qualified suppliers to provide external Quality Control (QC) testing services supporting the Clinical Biotechnology Centre's development and manufacture of Advanced Therapeutic Investigational Medicinal Products and biological products. Key testing capabilities required include: mycoplasma testing, bacterial and mammalian cell bank testing, specialised viral safety testing, viral clearance studies, sterility testing, and cell-based sterility testing. Testing needs will vary by project, and NHSBT requires flexibility to add or remove specific tests during the contract period. Successful suppliers must operate under GMP and GLP standards where applicable, deliver validated assays with full quality documentation, provide Certificates of Analysis and comprehensive reports, support technical agreements, permit audit access, and investigate out-of-specification results. This is an opportunity for experienced bioanalytical testing providers to support cutting-edge therapeutic development.
