What The Proposal Process Reveals About A CDMO Partner

Receiving a proposal from a CDMO is sort of like a first date: the first impression lingers and the way you’re treated often is indicative of how the relationship will go from there. Thus, the proposal process provides a perfect opportunity to learn more about a CDMO before any agreement is signed: the services it can provide, the flexibility it can offer to meet your project’s needs, and the responsiveness and enthusiasm with which your project will be managed.

To this end, CDMO appraisal essentially boils down to three metrics: timing, quality, and to a lesser extent, price. The proposal process gives potential clients insight into how the CDMO measures up in terms of these criteria.
