What Are Contract Pharma Services?
Contract pharma services—also called pharma outsourcing services or pharmaceutical outsourcing—refer to hiring specialised external organisations to handle key stages of drug discovery, development and manufacturing. These partners (CDMOs, CMOs, CROs and other niche providers) supply the GMP infrastructure, technical expertise and regulatory know-how that allow innovators to move molecules from lab bench to commercial product without the heavy capex of building their own facilities.
Why Outsource? Top Advantages
- Accelerated Timelines: Tap into pre-validated processes and qualified plants to shave months off development and scale-up.
- Capital Efficiency: Convert fixed overhead into variable expenditure—pay only for the capacity you use.
- Regulatory Peace of Mind: Work with partners that hold FDA, EMA, MHRA, WHO-GMP, ISO and other global certifications.
- Access to Cutting-Edge Tech: High-potency suites, continuous manufacturing, aseptic isolators, nano-milling—available without multi-million-euro investments.
Choose Your Service Chapter
Before you explore provider profiles, decide which chapter of the pharmaceutical value chain you need help with:
1. Drug Substance (CDMO / CRO)
The drug substance—also known as the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API)—is the therapeutic core of every medicine.
Typical services include:
- Route scouting & process chemistry
- cGMP API manufacturing (small-, mid- and large-scale)
- Highly potent & controlled-substance handling
- Analytical method development & validation
- Tech transfer and scale-up support
Ideal partners: CDMOs and CROs experienced in synthetic or biologic API production, with proven regulatory track records.
2. Drug Products (Manufactured by CMOs)
Once your API is ready, it must be formulated into a drug product that patients can safely administer.
Typical services include:
- Formulation & process development (oral, parenteral, topical, inhalation, etc.)
- Sterile fill-finish and lyophilisation
- Tableting, capsule filling, sachet & stick-pack filling
- Primary & secondary packaging, labelling and serialisation
- Stability studies and ICH-compliant storage
Ideal partners: CMOs with dosage-form expertise, modern fill-finish lines, and robust quality-management systems.
How to Use This Directory
- Define your Project Needs: Click Drug Substance or Drug Products above to narrow results to the services you need.
- Refine with Filters: Apply filters—capacity range, certifications, geography—to shortlist partners.
- Compare Profiles: Review facility photos, batch-size capabilities, QMS details and audit history.
- Request Quotes Instantly: Send RFQs to multiple providers via Pharmaoffer’s secure messaging—no hidden mark-ups or broker fees.
Quality & Regulatory Considerations
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a CDMO and a CMO?
All CDMOs are CMOs, but CDMOs also provide development services—route optimisation, formulation R&D—while CMOs focus solely on manufacturing.
How do I verify a partner’s GMP status?
Each profile contains downloadable certificates (FDA, EMA, WHO, ISO). You can also request the latest audit reports directly.
Can early-stage biotechs afford outsourcing?
Yes. Outsourcing gives small teams access to world-class facilities without upfront investment; you pay for the batches you need.
What information is required for an accurate quote?
Molecule details, dosage form, batch size, projected volumes, timelines, and any special handling requirements (e.g., cytotoxic, cold-chain, controlled substances).
Do providers offer end-to-end support?
Some partners cover both Drug Substance and Drug Product; others specialise. Start with the chapter you need and explore integrated options.
Ready to Accelerate Your Project?
Choose Drug Substance or Drug Products and connect with GMP-certified experts to move your molecule forward—faster, safer and more cost-effectively.
