Summary of the contracting process

Belfast Health & Social Care Trust procured Nemolizumab 30MG PEN for homecare support. This is a pharmaceutical-goods requirement intended to maintain continuity of patient care for people receiving treatment at home. The supply is associated with the Trust’s services in Belfast and delivery in Northern Ireland. The requirement is focused on the named medicine and its homecare provision rather than a broad medicines supply arrangement. Pharmaceutical manufacturers, specialist medicines suppliers, homecare providers and distribution partners with the capability to source, handle and deliver this type of product are the relevant commercial audience. The procurement covers one requirement and one supplier award.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award rather than a competitive tender. The stated rationale was that the essential medicine had to be obtained from this supplier to ensure continuity of patient care and homecare support. SCIENSUS PHARMA SERVICES LIMITED was selected for the contract. The award value is £150,000 gross, and the procurement is above the relevant threshold. The award date was 8 September 2026. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with a scheduled signature date of 1 October 2026. A standstill period ends on 18 September 2026. The award relates to the single lot for Nemolizumab 30MG PEN (HOMECARE).

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined demand for specialist pharmaceutical supply linked to patient homecare and continuity of treatment. A credible competitor would need dependable access to Nemolizumab 30MG PEN, robust medicines-handling and distribution arrangements, and the operational capacity to support homecare delivery for a health and social care provider. Experience of supplying essential medicines in a way that avoids disruption to patients would be commercially relevant. Suppliers should also be able to manage the practical coordination between medicine sourcing, fulfilment and homecare support at the scale represented by a single Trust requirement. The direct-award route indicates that continuity and supplier-specific capability were central considerations.
