A PVA is a standalone written agreement between a biopharma company  and a third party which outlines the safety responsibilities and activities of each party, to enable each to establish effective ways of working and be compliant with relevant regulations. The current process for PVA is not optimal with lack of consistency, duplication, and difficulty in assembling content from various sources for traceability, audits and inspections. In the current process, PVAs are manually authored using existing templates and once reviewed and approved, meta-data is extracted manually for compliance monitoring. The current systems not provide oversight of performance and compliance. This results in inefficient utilization of resources and has the potential for compliance and audit/inspection risk.
