Life Science Leader's readership of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical executives has told us
about their struggles in efficiently vetting potential CMO partners. In response to this input, Life
Science Leader developed the CMO Leadership Awards.
Based on Industry Standard Research's Contract Manufacturing Quality Benchmarking annual
online survey, more than 80 contract manufacturers were evaluated on 30 different performance
metrics. Research participants were recruited from biopharmaceutical companies of all sizes and
were screened for decision-making influence and authority when it comes to working with contract
manufacturing suppliers. Respondents only evaluate companies with which they have worked on an
outsourced project within the past 18 months. This level of qualification ensures that quality ratings
come from actual involvement with a business and that companies identified as leaders are backed
by experiential data. CMOs have an opportunity to win these awards in up to three groups of out-
sourcing respondents — Big Pharma, Small Pharma, and Overall (combined Big and Small Pharma).
WHAT ARE THE AWARDS?
ISR survey participants were asked to provide an expectation rating for each CMO they have worked
with in the past 18 months. Respondents answered over 45 questions per outsourcing category (small
molecule, biologic, finished dose) and rated CMOs across 30 performance attributes. Points were then
totaled for a combined score for each attribute, and a composite score for each core category was deter-
mined. Winning CMOs were determined when comparing their overall score vs. the competitive set.
