Contract QP Services for GMP Manufacturers and CDMOs

eXmoor Pharma provides contracted Qualified Person support for CGT manufacturers, CDMOs and organisations operating their own GMP facilities. From ongoing and backup cover to additional support during periods of increased certification workload, our QPs work within your Pharmaceutical Quality System, licence scope and operating model.

When QP capacity needs to flex with manufacturing demand

Manufacturing demand does not always grow in step with QP resource. A new programme, increased certification workload, planned or unplanned absence, or a period of operational growth can all put pressure on an internal team.

Contracted QP support can give you extra capacity when you need it, without forcing a permanent hire before the workload justifies one. The key is finding a model that fits how your site actually operates, with clear responsibilities, the right level of access and enough understanding of your products and quality system to support confident decisions.

Is QP capacity becoming a constraint?

Manufacturing demand does not always grow in step with QP resource. A new client programme, a rise in certification volume, an unplanned absence, or a change in product scope can all put pressure on a QP team that was sized for a different workload.

Recruiting a permanent QP with relevant CGT experience takes time and may not be the most efficient option where the need is part-time, variable or tied to a temporary period of growth. Contracted support can close that gap without displacing existing accountabilities or blurring who is responsible for what.

Additional QP and quality support

Certification decisions do not happen in isolation from the wider quality system.

Where relevant, our QPs can also support:

  • aseptic process simulation design
  • contamination control strategy
  • batch review workflows
  • deviations, change controls and investigations
  • supplier and contractor oversight
  • audit and inspection preparation
  • quality-system improvement

These activities are scoped separately where needed, but may form part of the wider support required to address issues affecting certification or release.

Expert Insights

Beyond batch certification

Drew Hope, Senior Bio Manufacturing & Compliance Consultant and UK Qualified Person, explains what manufacturers should expect from a contract QP beyond batch certification.

In this short Q&A, Drew discusses the wider role a contract QP can play within a GMP manufacturing operation, including quality-system oversight, support for sound decision-making, training, audits, inspections and strategic quality input.

For manufacturers, that wider involvement can help identify issues earlier and support better-informed certification and release decisions.
