Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health & Social Care Trust has completed a direct procurement process for the essential pharmaceutical product '(ULM) ELAPEGADEMASE (REVCOVI) 2.4 MG/1.5 ML SOLUTION FOR INJECTION, 1 vial'. This central government authority, located at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast, undertook the procurement via a direct award, citing the necessity for continuity in patient care and the exclusive availability of the medicine from a single supplier. The contract was awarded to CHIESI LIMITED, a large-scale supplier based in Manchester. The procurement was completed under the UK Public General Acts with the contract signed on 3rd June 2025, spanning until 30th June 2027, and valued at £2.6 million. The procurement relates to the pharmaceutical industry category, specifically classified under CPV code 33600000.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities, especially for businesses in the pharmaceutical sector that can supply speciality medicines and essential healthcare products not widely available in the market. While this opportunity was handled through a direct award due to the single point of provision, it highlights the demand for niche medicinal solutions within government health trusts. Therefore, businesses specializing in research, production, or distribution of similarly unique pharmaceutical products can benefit by targeting such exclusive procurement methods in future health and social care tenders.
