What is being bought

Published requirement description

The selected supplier will provide rental supply and maintenance of cleanroom mops to be utilised in CGTC's cleaning operations across SMIC and STL (which are currently carried out by a third-party contractor on behalf of CGTC). This service will be compliant with GMP, Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and relevant standards ensuring the highest level of contamination control.

As at the date of publication, the total anticipated volume of mops in circulation at SMIC and STL is 3,460, however the selected supplier must provide flexibility to react to changing demands in CGTC's requirement for mops. Mops should be either dry and non-impregnated, or pre-impregnated with the following chemicals sterilised and at least double wrapped:

Sterile Neutral Detergent

Non-Sterile HA (Sporicidal Preparation of HA with purified Water)

Sterile Zyceine

Sporicidal Low Residue Peroxide

Isopropyl Alcohol

The supplier must provide mops compliant with GMP grade A-D cleanrooms, available with appropriate documentation including certificates of conformity and sterility assurance. Training and technical support must be available when required, either in person or remotely, as agreed between the parties, and for as long as necessary.

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 15 Oct 2029, 23:59 BST.
