Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health & Social Care Trust has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "STELARA SOLUTION FOR INJECTION PRE-FILLED SYRINGE," under the industry category of pharmaceutical products. The procurement, primarily governed by Northern Irish devolved regulations, involves the acquisition of essential medicines to maintain patient care continuity, particularly for homecare support. A direct award procurement method was employed, justifying the lack of competition due to the necessity for these medications. The procurement process progressed from initiation in June 2026 to an active contract status as of July 7, 2026, with the contract period extending until June 30, 2028. The procurement practices adhered to the legal framework set by the UK Public Contract Regulations 2023/54, with delivery focused in the Belfast region (UKN06). The contract holds a gross value of £220,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for suppliers engaged in the pharmaceutical sector, particularly those providing homecare support products. The direct award approach underlines the importance of maintaining reliable supply chains and fulfilling niche market demands where continuity of care is critical. Large-scale pharmaceutical suppliers like HEALTHNET HOMECARE (UK) LIMITED, already awarded the contract, exemplify the type of organisations capable of fulfilling such specific requirements. This opportunity could appeal to businesses adept in navigating public health procurement channels and providing specialised pharmaceutical solutions tailored to meet healthcare sectors' needs in both the United Kingdom and specifically regions like Northern Ireland.
