Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is led by the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, which is seeking to contract for the supply of Ivacaftor, a pharmaceutical medication essential for treating Cystic Fibrosis. This tender falls under the goods category within the medical and pharmaceutical industry and is currently at the award stage, having been signed on 3rd February 2021, for a total value of £5,000,000. The procurement method employed was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the exclusive provision of the medicine by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Europe Ltd.

Opportunities for business growth may be limited in this specific case, as Ivacaftor is protected by patent and available only from one supplier, Vertex Pharmaceuticals Europe Ltd. However, businesses involved in pharmaceutical supply, especially those looking to work with health authorities, may find potential in future contracts related to different medical products or services that do not have similar exclusivity. Engaging with health trusts and understanding their procurement needs could provide strategic advantages in this sector.
