UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Southern Health and Social Care Trust has concluded a procurement process for the supply of Evinacumab, a pharmaceutical product, to be used in its facilities in Northern Ireland. The procurement method was a direct award due to intellectual property rights, with Healthnet Homecare (UK) Limited being the sole supplier. The contract, valued at £600,000 (net), covers a three-year period starting from 14th May 2026 to 13th May 2029. This procurement falls under the 'goods' category and is regulated under Northern Irish devolved regulations, completed under a direct award due to the exclusivity of the supplier's rights over the product.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in pharmaceutical supply, particularly those with exclusive distribution rights to unique treatments. Although this specific contract has been awarded without competition, similar opportunities may arise where businesses can leverage proprietary products or exclusive supply relationships. Large-scale pharmaceutical companies with capabilities to strike exclusive rights deals are particularly well-suited to compete for such direct award contracts in niche medical supply markets.
