Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has successfully completed the procurement process for "IVACAFTOR 150 mg Tablets 56 Tablet Pack," classified under the "Medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products" industry category. This procurement was for goods and involved a limited procurement method without prior publication, justified by the necessity to source from a sole supplier due to exclusive rights and patent protections. The contract, valued at £5,725,000, was awarded to Vertex Pharmaceuticals on 23rd October 2024. The tablets are to be supplied to the Pharmacy of Belfast Health & Social Care Trust, located in Belfast, Northern Ireland (UKN06).

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for pharmaceutical companies dealing in highly specialised, patent-protected medications. Such contracts can bolster a company's reputation and form long-term partnerships with key health service providers like the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust. Companies that hold exclusive rights to essential healthcare products, particularly those catering to niche and high-demand medical needs, would be well-suited to participate in similar tenders.
