Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health & Social Care Trust has completed a direct procurement procedure for FOMEPIZOLE 1500 mg in 1.5mL Injection 4 Vial Pack. This initiative, which falls under the pharmaceutical products category, ensures the continuity of patient care by securing essential medicines exclusive to one supplier, Clinigen Healthcare Limited. The procurement contract, valued at £200,000, commenced on 20th January 2026 and will run until 31st December 2027. The procurement process adhered to Northern Irish devolved regulations, focusing on the needs of the central government, with the goods intended for delivery in Northern Ireland.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for pharmaceutical companies, especially those capable of producing niche or highly specialised medicinal products. While the direct award method limits competition, it underlines the importance of establishing exclusive agreements or manufacturing capabilities for unique or critical health care products. Large enterprises, particularly those already working within the pharmaceutical sector with capabilities in drug production and distribution, will find opportunities in similar procurement processes to expand their market presence and secure long-term government contracts.
