Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Health and Social Care Trust has awarded a contract under a limited procurement method to Lloyds Pharmacy Clinical Homecare for the supply of Abatacept (Orencia) for homecare over a period of up to three years. This contract falls under the goods category within the pharmaceutical products industry and will be delivered within the region of Northern Ireland (UKN). The procurement process was conducted through a negotiated procedure without prior publication, based on the protection of exclusive rights due to the patent protection of Abatacept. The contract was signed on 1 October 2024 and is valued at £1,400,000 GBP.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in pharmaceutical homecare services. Since it falls into a niche market of high-value, patent-protected pharmaceuticals, companies with capabilities in managing exclusive drug distributions and homecare provisions could greatly benefit. Moreover, large-scale suppliers with established supply chains in pharmaceuticals and homecare delivery are well-suited to compete and excel in such contracts, leveraging their resources and expertise to meet the needs of the Northern Health and Social Care Trust efficiently.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Contract for supply of Abatacept (Orencia) (Homecare) for up to 3 years

Procurement Information

Regulation 32(2)(b)iii permits the award of a public contract by a negotiated procedure without prior publication where the works, supplies or services can only be supplied by a particular economic operator due to the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights. The absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement. The NHSCT requires the purchase of Abatacept which is subject to patent protection / Sole MA Holder and consequently no reasonable alternative or substitute exists.
