Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health & Social Care Trust has been involved in the procurement process for the SECUKINUMAB PEN (COSENTYX) HOMECARE 300 mg Pre-filled Injection. This procurement, governed by the UKPGA 2023/54 legal basis, falls under the pharmaceutical industry category. The process is notably managed under Northern Irish devolved regulations, with the tender initiation dated 2025-09-23. The procurement method employed was a direct award, cited for ensuring continuity of patient care and due to the non-competitive nature as these medicines are obtainable from only one economic operator. Despite the contract period spanning from 2025 to 2027, the contract was terminated on 2026-04-20, with the implementation having a final value of £3,500,000.

This procurement effort, although terminated, initially presented business growth opportunities for pharmaceutical suppliers capable of catering to the health care sector's demand for specialist injectable medications. Sciensus Logistics Limited and Sciensus Pharma Services Limited were identified as the relevant suppliers, showcasing the demand for efficient distribution and homecare support in Northern Ireland. Businesses with expertise in pharmaceutical products and a track record of maintaining steady supply chains for essential medications, especially in Northern Ireland, would have been well-suited to participate in such tender opportunities.
