Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the Belfast Health & Social Care Trust involves the acquisition of the pharmaceutical product "VUTRISIRAN 25MG/0.5ML SOLUTION FOR INJECTION PRE-FILLED SYRINGE, 0.5 mL, single-use device, PACK OF 1". This procurement falls under the "goods" category and was conducted via a direct award method due to the unique nature of the product—a branded, patent-protected medicine available from a single supplier. The contract was awarded to ALNYLAM UK LIMITED, reflecting the specific nature of the pharmaceutical industry and demonstrating adherence to legal regulations outlined under the UK's Public Contracts Regulations 2023. This contract covers the period from 7th July 2026 to 30th June 2028, with a contract value of £350,000. As the procurement stage is complete and the award active, the prime location for delivery is Northern Ireland (UKN).

For businesses in the pharmaceutical sector, particularly those specialising in innovative and patent-protected medicines, this tender represents significant growth opportunities. While the direct award approach in this instance restricts participation due to exclusive rights, it signals potential collaboration possibilities for suppliers looking to engage with public entities like Belfast Health & Social Care Trust. Companies involved in manufacturing high-demand medical products or specialising in niche pharmaceutical markets may find it valuable to explore similar future opportunities, highlighting the importance of maintaining awareness of the specific needs and regulatory opportunities within health care trust procurements across the UK.
