Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has completed the procurement process for the acquisition of Aflibercept 8mg PFS, specifically targeting the medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products industry category. The procurement was executed under a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the exclusive rights associated with the branded, patent-protected medicines essential to patient care. The contract was awarded to Bayer Plc for the supply of Aflibercept 8mg PFS, with the contract signed on 18th February 2025, amounting to GBP 700,000. The procurement involved the delivery location of Belfast Health & Social Care Trust - Pharmacy, located in Belfast, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in pharmaceuticals, particularly those with expertise in producing and supplying patent-protected medicines. Companies with existing capabilities or interests in exclusive drug formulations and those that can navigate the complexities of intellectual property rights would be well-suited to compete. The collaboration with a large-scale supplier like Bayer Plc underscores the importance of having robust manufacturing and distribution capabilities to meet the rigorous standards and demands of public health organisations.
