Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by Belfast Health & Social Care Trust involved a tender for MIDOSTAURIN 25mg capsules, specifically for a pack of 56 capsules. The procurement focused on pharmaceutical products and utilised a direct award method due to the exclusive rights held by a single supplier, Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Limited. This process, aligning with Northern Irish devolved regulations and related to public authority within central government, took place at the Trust Headquarters in Belfast. The award was completed with a start date of 1st July 2025, and the contract is set to run until 30th June 2027. The procurement process has reached the award stage as of 19th June 2025.

This contract offers meaningful opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of specialised pharmaceuticals, especially those capable of navigating complex exclusive rights scenarios. It is particularly suited for large-scale pharmaceutical companies such as Novartis that possess the capacity to meet stringent regulatory and logistical requirements. The direct award approach underscores the demand for unique solutions that are pivotal to ensure continuous patient care, thereby potentially driving further collaboration with healthcare authorities on similarly essential medications.
