Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Western Health & Social Care Trust, located in Londonderry, United Kingdom, which has sought the supply of AFLIBERCEPT solution for injection in pre-filled syringes. This contract addresses a clinical need for the Western Trust and runs until 31 March 2026. The procurement, classified under the pharmaceutical products category, follows a direct award method due to the single supplier's intellectual property rights, and the contract status is marked as complete. The contract commenced on 6 January 2026 following a previous award made by 19 December 2025, with suppliers required to adhere to UK and specifically Northern Irish regulatory standards.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly those specializing in niche, patent-protected products. The successful supplier, BAYER PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY, based in Reading, United Kingdom, demonstrates the scope for large-scale suppliers to secure contracts for essential medicines. Companies with competitive manufacturing capabilities or unique intellectual property rights in pharmaceutical products would be well-suited to compete in such procurement processes, particularly when exclusive supply rights apply, offering a chance to strengthen market presence and forge lasting relationships with public sector buyers like the Western Health & Social Care Trust.
