Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Northern Health and Social Care Trust in Antrim, UK, aiming to secure a contract for the supply of Darolutamide 300mg tablets. This procurement falls under the pharmaceutical goods category and is situated at Antrim Area Hospital's Brettan Hall. The process has reached the award stage as of 3rd September 2025, with the contract signed with Bayer Public Limited Company. The direct procurement method was employed due to patent protection, which restricts alternative sources. The contract, valued at £270,000 (gross: £324,000), spans from 19th August 2025 to 14th June 2028.

This procurement presents growth opportunities specifically for large-scale pharmaceutical businesses capable of producing patented medicines, aligning with existing health regulations and patent rights. While the supplier is already identified as Bayer Public Limited Company, businesses in the pharmaceutical sector capable of handling similar procurement mandates and securing exclusive supply rights may find comparable opportunities fruitful for their expansion strategies. Understanding legal and intellectual property frameworks enhances the potential for future collaboration with health trusts.
