Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has completed the procurement process for the supply of TEZACAFTOR/IVACAFTOR 100MG/150MG Tablets in a 28 Tablet Pack, classified under the industry category of Medical Equipment, Pharmaceuticals, and Personal Care Products. This procurement was carried out using a limited method due to the protection of exclusive rights, as these branded, patent-protected medicines are crucial for patient care and can only be provided by a particular supplier. The procurement process began with the tender stage and culminated in the award of the contract to Vertex Pharmaceuticals. The contract, valued at £450,000, was signed on 14 August 2024, and is intended for delivery to the Belfast Health & Social Care Trust - Pharmacy in Northern Ireland.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in the supply of exclusive or patented pharmaceuticals. Vertex Pharmaceuticals' role as the sole supplier highlights the potential for lucrative contracts when offering unique products protected by intellectual property rights. Businesses capable of providing specialised, high-value medical supplies, or those operating within the pharmaceutical industry, would be well-positioned to leverage similar procurement processes for growth. Collaborative engagements with public health organisations requiring such specialised products can lead to substantial and ongoing business opportunities.
