Categorised under pharmaceutical products, this tender was completed through a direct award method necessary for maintaining continuous patient care via homecare support. The procurement stage culminated in the award of the contract on 7th July 2026, with a total contract value of £150,000. Key procurement dates span from the contract signing on 7th July 2026 to its completion on 30th June 2028. This procurement adheres to the Northern Irish devolved regulations and operates under the legal framework of the UK Public Procurement Act 2023.

The direct contract with Lloyds Clinical Limited, a large-scale organisation based in Harlow, underscores the necessity of ensuring uninterrupted medical provision. Businesses equipped to manage specialised, high-value contracts, particularly in the pharmaceutical and medical supplies sector, would find this an encouraging precedent to engage as suppliers in similar public procurement opportunities, thus fostering growth and expanding service offerings in the healthcare sector within the UK.
