Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health & Social Care Trust has completed a direct procurement process for REVOLADE (ELTROMBOPAG) tablets, comprising a 28-tablet package, which is categorized under pharmaceutical products. This process pertains to goods procured due to their essential role in patient care and the uniqueness of supply by a single economic operator, Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Limited. This public procurement falls under the sector of pharmaceutical products and is governed by Northern Irish devolved regulations. The contract is active from 7th July 2026 and will run until 30th June 2028, with the process finalized on 7th July 2026, serving the Northern Ireland region, specifically at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in pharmaceuticals, especially those specializing in branded, patent-protected medicines. Large-scale suppliers with capabilities to provide specialized and high-demand pharmaceutical products can explore similar opportunities depending on exclusivity and intellectual property rights. While this specific contract was a direct award due to the single-source nature of the product, businesses focusing on innovative or exclusive medical products could benefit from understanding and positioning their offerings to meet similar procurement needs in the future.
