Description

The UKSCB requires a specialist cleaning contractor to provide cleaning services for its GMP Cleanroom Suite. The suite is licenced under the HTA Human Tissue (Quality and Safety for Human Application) Regulations 2007 to produce starting materials for human therapies and is required to comply with the microbiological and particulate standards set out in EU GMP (Annex 1). Compliance is maintained through the HEPA filtered air supply, cleanroom practices and particularly through the strict cleaning regime set out in UKSCB Standard Operating Procedures.

The contract will run for 2 years in the first instance, with a possibility of three 1-year extensions. Only contractors with prior experience of cleaning GMP-compliant cleanrooms will be considered. The contract is for labour only; the UKSCB will provide all cleaning materials and cleanroom clothing. UKSCB will supply cleaning equipment (contractors may use their own cleaning mops provided that these will work with the biocide wipes used by the UKSCB). The disinfectants to be used to clean the UKSCB are detailed in Appendix 2. Contractors must be willing to work to UKSCB Standard Operating Procedures and comply with UKSCB Gowning and Cleanroom Entry and Exit procedures.
