Managing Contractors

Many pharmaceutical organisations are using the virtual model: outsourcing work to manufacturing and development contractors. Such contractors offer companies the opportunity to do things they cannot do in house, or to do things they currently do in house at reduced cost. However there are many pitfalls in contracting-out technical work. We can help you to avoid these pitfalls, protect your legal liabilities, and ensure that you get value for money.

We assist companies who are placing work at CROs including:

Pharmaceutical product development - all product types from Phase 0 to Phase 3

Clinical Trial Material manufacturing, packaging and labelling

Analytical method development

API synthesis and testing

If you prefer to do things yourself, we can offer advice and training in CRO selection and management, including suggestions for SOPs and systems you should put in place to clarify your requirements, limit your liabilities and ensure you receive value for money.

Our services are aimed at allowing you to:

Short list contractors with requisite skills

Review contractors facilities to ensure competence and compliance

Commission and manage contractors through every step of the process
