Summary of the contracting process

Belfast Health & Social Care Trust procured Nemolizumab 30 mg pre-filled pens for homecare use. The requirement is for a medicine supplied to support patients receiving care at home, rather than for a wider clinical service. The buyer is the Belfast Health & Social Care Trust, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. The product falls within pharmaceutical products (CPV 33600000). The procurement rationale identifies continuity of patient care and homecare support as the reason for sourcing this essential medicine from the selected supplier.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Sciensus Pharma Services Limited following a direct award. The Trust said it required the medicine from this supplier to maintain continuity of patient care and homecare support, and that the lack of competition did not artificially narrow the procurement. The award was made on 8 September 2026. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. Its value is £150,000 including gross value, for one lot. This was a goods purchase; the procurement data does not set out separate technical eligibility or evaluation criteria.

For suppliers considering similar requirements from Belfast Health & Social Care Trust, this award shows demand for a specific specialist medicine supplied in a homecare context. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate a dependable source of Nemolizumab 30 mg pens and the ability to support continuity of supply and patient care through homecare arrangements. The buyer’s stated rationale makes continuity, rather than price or a scored competition, central to this purchase. Suppliers should therefore be able to evidence reliable medicine supply and the operational capability to support homecare delivery. The selected supplier is a large pharmaceutical services business, indicating the scale and service capability the Trust relied on for this requirement.
