Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "FILGOTINIB (JYSELECA) Tablets [HOMECARE]" contract was conducted by the Northern Health and Social Care Trust, a public authority operating under Northern Irish devolved regulations. Located in Antrim, United Kingdom, the Trust finalised this direct award contract to SCIENSUS PHARMA SERVICES LIMITED of London on 20th May 2026. The contract, valued at £140,000 excluding VAT, pertains to the pharmaceutical industry and is classified as goods. The procurement process was completed under UK Public Contract Regulations 2023/54, with the contract set for a duration from 2nd June 2026 to 31st May 2029. The standstill period concludes on 1st June 2026, following which the contract is scheduled to commence.

This direct award, due to intellectual property rights, offers a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in pharmaceutical supply, particularly in niche areas involving patented medications, to engage with significant healthcare institutions. Suppliers who can provide specialized pharmaceuticals with exclusive rights hold a distinct advantage in participating in such tenders. The need for vital pharmaceuticals like FILGOTINIB, specifically for homecare support, highlights the potential for companies that offer patented or uniquely available products to establish robust partnerships with public health care trusts seeking assured supply and continuity of patient care.

Procurement Information

Purchase of drugs which are subject to patent protection/ Sole MA Holder, where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists. Section 41 schedule 5(5) of the PA2023 permits a direct award in the case of single supplier and permits the award if the following conditions are met in relations to the public contract - (a)due to a particular supplier having intellectual property rights or other exclusive rights, only that supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and (b)there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works. The product required is only commercially available from one supplier and no competition or alternative exists for this product. The Northern Health and Social Care Trust requires the purchase of Filgotinib which is subject to patent protection / Sole MA Holder and consequently no reasonable alternative of substitute exists. These essential medicines are required from this supplier to ensure continuity of patient care, specifically for homecare support. The absence of competition is not the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement.
