Summary of the contracting process

Belfast Health & Social Care Trust procured homecare supply of Gamunex 10% immunoglobulin, an injection for infusion supplied in one infusion pack. This is a pharmaceutical product requirement, combining the medicine with homecare support for patients. The Trust is the buyer, and delivery is in Northern Ireland. The requirement is narrowly focused on this named medicine and homecare provision, rather than a general medicines supply or broad clinical service. The award went to Sciensus Pharma Services Limited and Sciensus Logistics Limited, indicating that supply and logistics both formed part of the delivery arrangement.

The procurement was awarded through a direct award, justified by the need to secure essential medicines from the selected supplier and maintain continuity of patient care, specifically homecare support. Sciensus Pharma Services Limited and Sciensus Logistics Limited were jointly named as suppliers for the single lot. The award date was 17 June 2026, for £400,000. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026 and was due to run from 7 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. It was terminated on 24 September 2026; the stated rationale is classified only as “other”, with no further reason supplied. The procurement was evaluated without competition, based on the stated continuity-of-care rationale.

For suppliers considering a future requirement from this Trust, the evidence points to a specialist medicines-and-homecare model: the ability to supply the named immunoglobulin product and support its use through homecare provision. Credible competitors would need to demonstrate reliable access to the medicine, dependable logistics into Northern Ireland, and the operational capability to maintain continuity for patients receiving care at home. The selected arrangement named separate pharmaceutical services and logistics businesses, so coordination across product supply and delivery is relevant. This is a focused requirement for a specific infusion medicine rather than a broad catalogue contract. Experience managing essential medicines and patient-facing homecare supply would be directly relevant; the procurement does not set out further accreditation or technical qualification requirements.
